How to Play Legacy CSGO Community Servers 2023

CS2 killed CSGO, replacing it first with the csgo demo viewer, and now the Legacy Version of CSGO. This will house CSGO Community Servers into perpetuity, and will stop receiving updates January 1st 2024.

When I launch legacy CSGO, the server browser is still empty after refresh. RIP! Valve took 1 step forward and 3 steps back with this one.

[EzOrca]

are there any 5v5 community pug servers ? which are still up

[marc_gutii]

I'm back with CS: Source. At least works without touching nothing

[HugoTaljaard]

seams like the end of CS for lots of people, no online #counterstrike you suck!

How to go to community servers: click community server, on "more info" click yes then click more info, when steam page will show up quickly press shift tab and click community servers again

[AliceAWilson]

I wish there was more documentation on creating a srcds server for csgo_legacy branch; You'd think such a popular game would have people coming back in NA to actually play some classic competitive or classic casual CS:GO, but no such servers exist, its all surf, bhop, deathmatch etc. What if i literally just want to play a damn defusal match? that experience is gone. I tried to make a classic GO server with the CS2 730 server client, with -beta csgo_legacy, but it doesn't seem like it can work, it also seems like the 740 CSGO server client doesn't connect anymore either.

i just don't understand, this must have been changed because anytime i click the community servers button it just tells me i've launched a legacy version and i can't use online features :/

[WingsOfADream]

how do i fix my server and why do I have to re-dl the game after playing cs2...
they should have just made 2 games...
fucking valve man.
like my csgo server just hard crashes every time... reeee

[Benry]

I launched the game and I’m getting 900 frames. I wanna cry why did they have to make the graphics better 😢

[leo]

the "select launch options" prompt isn't showing up after selecting the legacy version for me. idk why.

[microblogs]

When I try to join a server in csgo I always get the message "Connection failed after 30 retries".

[djbrazio]

connection failed after 30 retries in cs go legacy pls help

[semiharas]

When I try to log into the community servers, I get the error "connection failed after 30 retries". I would appreciate it if someone who knows could help me.

[gurdeeppunj]

I open cs 2 but it starts to download legacy version of csgo, automatically can someone help me Plz😢😢

[nderdragon]

Bruh you have to download the whole csgo legacy again if you switch the launch option back to none and switch it to the legacy again. Its just so ridiculous that you have to download the file again like why is it not saved??

[orionk]

How do I get CSGO to work? When I pick Legacy, there is no where to install it.. I hate CS2, just want to burn the game down..

[ZeminKaygan_]

dude this shi says "im gonna download 71GB for old version lol"

[sovo]

The game now appears in my library as "Counter-Strike 2 [csgo_legacy]", but I don't have the CSGO Legacy option when I launch the game. I already restarted Steam.

[frzx]

i allways get connection failed after 30 retries when i try to enter a community server

[geniecs]

itd be cool if ppl were playing on these
