Hello !

I tried to play with my friend but we can't join each other. I don't think it's mod related because we tried with official maps aswell and it didn't work

We tried to launch the map form the lobby but the host load the map alone and the other get kicked
We tried with "sv_lan 1" and connect to ip but impossible to find the server.

I used to play like that some years ago but nothing works anymore. Is it possible to play with friends in 2023 without dedicated servers or is it just broken ?

EDIT : We managed to make it work

If you have the same issue here is what to do :

The host have to clear the cache :
- On steam, in the settings go to "Download" then "Clear download cache"
- Steam should restart and log in again
- Start CS:GO and it should re-initialize
- Invite your friends and launch the map

Enjoy !
