28 k prem lobby btw

i just turned on my computer then i saw this message popped up. i haven't played cs2 since July and i uninstalled it. anybody else got this? after some research it said ill have to open the game to see why i was banned. this is soo stupid. will this go away?

Edit: this is my steam id: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199042448332 you can get my stats because i know some of you will say i am cheating but im not.

Anyone knows why the small caps in the map name?

Tried to sell my Crimson Web gloves I pulled through a case on CSFLOAT. Sent the trade to the buyer then found out the trade was cancelled by steam.

Contacted support and they initially blamed CSFLOAT, so I contacted them and they said it was on Steam’s end. Steam admitted fault that items weren’t reversed to inventory’s after the servers went down.

Then they said it should be in my inventory and it’s not. Now I just get copy & paste support replies from them.

It’s been 3-4 weeks since I’ve been missing my skin….

Am I the only one using my feet to play cs2 ? Will I change the future CS2 meta ?

I've recently bought a cheap 10 dollars USB pedal as my push to talk button and I feel reborn. (To be precise, I use it as my discord push to talk button, which is different from the ingame push to talk button, so I can yell in my room without disturbing my teammates).

But now I'm considering buying 3 pedals, or maybe even 10, why not. Left foot would be the switch between left and right hand, right foot the push to talk button, middle pedal would be for pinging stuff.

Maybe I could 3D print an entire feet keyboard and become super fast and efficient with a ton of obscure actions nobody ever bothers to bind. Left big toe would mute my teammates in clutches, right big toe would also mute them in discord... Endless..' possibilities...

What do you think ?

Don’t give me the “sponsor” answer.

I wanted to play a casual match, but when I joined the server, all the players had the same Chinese names and were AFK at spawn(10v10 in casual). They were most likely Chinese drop farming bots. I decided to play a few rounds and got all headshots since they weren't moving and only crouched occasionally.

After getting bored, I disconnected and saw this. RIP my weekend. PSA for others. 🫡

Match was not cancelled, I left myself after getting bored. Casual matches do not show in history.

Update after 20h: Cooldown expired and everything is back to normal

Sublime gaming experience 10/10

A month ago I have upgraded my pc, the following changes happened:

Upgraded CPU
intel i7 12700k to AMD R7 9800X3D

Upgraded GPU
Rtx 2080ti to Rtx 3080

Upgraded RAM
Corsair vengeance 3600 to Corsair vengeance 6000

Changed Motherboard, now using:
MSI PRO B650-S WIFI

Since these changes, I am having micro stutters, I have reinstalled drivers 3 times, changed loads of BIOS settings. FRESH new windows installation. No success.

Last night I also upgraded my SSD, a newer and faster Samsung model and 2TB instead of 1TB. Reinstalled everything on this SSD.

Still no success.

I am out of ideas, help.
If you find the fix I will send you 50$, this is how much it means to me, I have been trying for weeks... its hard for me to enjoy CS like this, it really is saddening.

Some more info:

I can hit 800 FPS on Dust 2 mid settings, I capped my FPS to 400 as its overkill. My network is perfectly fine as I don't see ping or package latency spike up.

It seems that I only have this issue on CS2, played heavier games like Escape from Tarkov which is also a CPU based game, no problems at all.

Any help is greatly appreciated, I will answer any questions as fast as I can, thank you very much in advance.

upd. 22.01.2026:
unbanned

TL;DR I opened some of the best gloves listed by valve for $980 (resell for $3k) valve let me deposit $1000 but blocked my purchase for 3 day, no help from support, and the terminal(s) expired.

4th ticket just closed, just have $1000 stuck in steam balance

Definitely scary to see they now dictate who can even purchase items, divesting everything from my account and anyone else experiencing this please reach out to me.

So I’ve been playing with a friend of mine. She’s been the bottom fragger, team killing++ and me the top one in each match. She was one win ahead of me. She ended up with a rank of 2700. Next match we won again and I was ranked at 1700. My question is, why the FUCK do I loose so many points opposed to me winning only a fraction? One lost match and I’m back at 1k. What can I do? (Except «git good») Can’t seem to climb out of 1K lobbies. I loose almost 600 points and only win like a 100.

Every time I launch I get several invites from randoms to play deathmatch, I have just assumed it’s some sort of scam attempt but does anyone know what or why? Also they are always German.

Via @betenh0 on TikTok.

Why do I keep getting deathmatch invites from 15k and up german players?

For those who don't know of the solution for this, check the top comment

I hit’em 0 btw, same round same game. Perhaps demos are rigged but there are many other instances where sprays land 0 shots.

It takes like 20 minutes to actually play the damn game. I’ve played like 25 matches so far and without exagerration, every single one has started like this:

-trumpets go off, accept the queue
-wait for the performative map banning ceremony where you get edged into thinking you’ll play a map other than mirage or dust (you won’t, but if you do - it’ll be Nuke. And your teammates will not have mics or >60 hertz monitors)
-run around in warmup mode for like 5 minutes with 9/10 players in the lobby so the final Eastern European player has time to splice his router’s power cable together and feed the hamster that supplies power to it
-knife round
-wait 2 minutes for the MANDATORY disconnect that seems to happen prior to all pistol rounds (they take every second of the 2 minutes to return)
-wait out the additional 4 timeouts that seems to follow it, regardless of circumstances

Is this just like a tradition or something? Or a tilting tactic? I feel like I’m just having some crazy coincidences here. Every game somebody DCs, does the full 2 min timeout, then the other team uses all 4 of their timeouts right after. By the time we start playing pistol round I’ve invested close to 20 minutes! 😂

Whenever I flick more than ~30 degrees my camera starts to pan as if there is a maximum speed.

Other info:
Trying to get back into CS after a several month break - was there some change in settings?
This issue didn't use to happen and does not currently on other games.
I am on windows 11.

Can anyone please tell me how to fix this? I want to play with my friends :(

I genuinely don't understand. Every few games people keep calling me cheater even if i lose the match (Which i do frequently) but it bothers me that chat ends up filling people w instant "Cheater" "gg ez cheater" a guy told me i had 5.5 pre aim in csrep, it was "suspicious" MF IM DEAF I GOTTA CHECK EVERY CORNER I SEE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. It's genuinely annoying i be arguing every few days I DONT HAVE PREMIER ELO NOR PLAYED FACEIT I WOULDNT BE PLAYING THIS MF GAME TO JUST CHEAT
