so ive found the solution. recently a online safety act was passed in the uk, which is interfering with the connection of certain ips which can only be bypassed via vpn etc.

ive messed around with geo filter, maxing out the distance, the strict mode, auto ping host, fast search. ive also played around with the qos and priority modes. thats really it. ive found its most of the countries in eu that i cant connect to. however some countries i can, like russian servers and a few others that are further. i also for some unknown reason get 110 ping on stockholm servers when im in the uk. and only one german server i can connect to, none of the others work

Right okay so just to clarify - can you connect to official steam CS2 servers? It's just specific community servers? Could be a NAT issue, set NAT to Open in WAN Settings and see if that resolves it please

no there is also an issue with official servers, where i get kicked sometimes and it will say, server not found, the region usually being germany again. I have changed NAT to open and retried and it didnt work too

Found this potential solution online: "let the server browser finish searching completely before attemping to connect to a server."

Another suggestion was to add the server to favorites and then connect to it rather than using the steam://connect link dirtectly if that is what you're doing

ive tried most of the online solutions thoroughly. it just says the ip was not found.
