Server routing
why does my cs2 just randomly route me through random servers that make no sense? I get 38 ping to sydney servers but it will route me threw guandong and Seattle making me have 1000+ ping. Is there a fix to this?

server reroutes when receiving buy order items and trades
The "net_client_steamdatagram_enable_override" command is used to override the default setting for enabling or disabling Steam Datagram Relay (SDR) in CS:GO. SDR is a network feature provided by Steam that can help improve network connectivity and reduce latency for online games, including CS:GO.

Setting "net_client_steamdatagram_enable_override" to "0" disables SDR, while setting it to "1" enables it. By default, SDR is typically enabled in CS:GO to provide a better online gaming experience. If you set it to "0," you are effectively turning off the SDR feature, and CS:GO will try to connect directly to game servers without using the relay network.

Here's how you can use the command in the developer console:

To disable SDR (set to 0):
```
net_client_steamdatagram_enable_override 0
```

To enable SDR (set to 1):
```
net_client_steamdatagram_enable_override 1
```

After entering this command in the console, you may need to restart CS:GO for the changes to take effect. Keep in mind that the effectiveness of SDR can vary depending on your network setup and location, so you might want to experiment with different settings to see which one provides the best connection quality for you.

i notice every time i get server routing bullet reg is much worse than it is with direct connect even with same ping. Also infuriating that i get routing even when both servers are in the same city or general area which makes no sense except for making game feel off
Yeah this feels horrible I get zero bullets reg when routing and excellent when not... with need a fix to.disable routing
Got a temporary fix , go to settings > game > refresh ping

I have the same problem. But the main problem is that enemy models moving too fast and I lose probably 70% of firefights when the enemies are picking.
After downloading demos there I saw that enemies are picking more slower and there I see the leg or shoulder parts...
In my case routing happens through Stockholm to Frankfurt, but I'm living in Latvia...
Playing with net_client_steamdatagram_enable_override at first time routing was through Warsaw but then again through Stockholm...
Will analyze this problem.

I live in SEA and I usually get routed to hk, sg, and tokyo. Though, idk why but tokyo gives me 50% packet loss every time I play there. It wasn't a problem back in csgo. I also get routed to Seattle and "datacenter maa2" like what the ♥♥♥♥ is this, I'm in hongkong server but I'm routed through these bs then I get 399 ping. What the actual ♥♥♥♥.

I solved this problem by using Exitlag applicaiton. All works like a charm now. There are only two options how to solve this problem:
1) Get beter internet provider
2) Buy subscription in Exitlag or similar external application
