Just plug in an ethernet cable. WiFi is a gamble for online gaming.

Packet loss in CS:GO can seriously mess with your game. First, try the basics: check your internet connection and restart your router. If you're on WiFi, consider switching to a wired connection for stability. Sometimes, the culprit is background applications eating up bandwidth, so make sure to close unnecessary programs while playing. Updating your network drivers and, if all else fails, contacting your ISP could also help. Remember, a stable connection is key in CS:GO!

Try lowering your in-game settings. It's not a direct fix, but it can reduce the strain on your network and sometimes helps with packet loss.

Had this issue last week! I switched from using my ISP's default DNS to Google's DNS, and it made a world of difference. Also, make sure your firewall isn't blocking CS:GO.
