Unable to find matchmaking for Casual and Competitive

[Dusteh]

I didnt have problems before but everytime I look for a new matchmaking match it searches for a while and it shows an error message that I have to increase my ping, in order to find new matches, but the problem is that it doesnt find any for me, I didnt have this problem before and I am currently encountering right now, I cannot play matchamaking but I can play oncommunity servers with ease, around 50 ping.

What seems to be the solution?

Exit the game. Right click on it >> propreties>> local game files>>> verify cache.
And make sure that you are not participating in a beta (you can check that in the beta tab for csgo).
Post back here if the problem persists.

I have done what you said but the problem persists current build is 242498 and I am not currently participating in CS:GO betas. :( Is there any way I have to refresh some sort of cache in this game?

[Rain]

Well you can only verify the cache. Best bet is trying to restart the pc and your modem.

This is about amount of pingS.
Not ping.

Steam, settings, ingame, server browser pings. Choose a higher number.

It didnt used to be like this, a few days back I can play on servers below 100 ping and something ♥♥♥♥♥♥ happened that I had no idea why that I can't find a single damn server even I increase the maximum ping, the same error shows up.

I dont think this is a client side problem, it could either be from my ISP or the server it is currently pointing at.

[Muppet among Puppets]

Again, in steam settings the pingperminute setting.
Not ingame.

[Dusteh]

What does it do?

[Muppet among Puppets]

Defines how many simultan requests can be made per minute.
As a server browser makes a lot of them.

"The amount of pinging"
Try like 3000 or more.

its actually steam side.
Do this,

ask your friend to join a matchmaking. Ask him to type "status" on console.
Get the server IP address.

Then go to Start->cmd
type Tracert "the ip address, without port"

You will see how you get routed. If you are in NYC like me.
You will have bad ms/ping on one of the steam server/box hop on peak time.
If you try again at 1am/2am you will ping fine and able to find match.

How do I know the server pinging bad belong to steam?
google whois and put the IP there. It is steam.
I think Steam could not handle the growing number of people that are playing.

add me on friend list if you need more info.
dont bother calling steam, they do not do phone support (got the phone number from whois) your best option is to let them be aware of the problem. (eg: copy paste your tracert result and point out the IP that causing high latency)
