Guys, is your connection to the servers in CS 2 working fine? Or do you also get a triangle with an exclamation mark and a notification that you are being redirected to a server in another country when you search? For example, if you are in Europe, you will be playing on US servers. How much does the connection to the server affect ping in CS 2?

You know, it varies. Sometimes after a hotfix, everything is fine, but last time after a major update, the ping was like a roller coaster. And then I remembered the improve CS2 server connection from VRedux, which I saw on the internet, but didn't pay much attention to at the time. Basically, I had nothing to lose, so I decided to try a few commands from the manual in the hope that instead of 630 ms, I would have at least 300. But in the end, the ping dropped to 40, and I was pleasantly surprised.
