STeam is the best option to play online as u get very less pings which helps the game to be lag free .However ,if u are miser enough then i would advice u to try the methods below
3)Non Steam
It is the simplest one. You need not have an original copy of CS to play .Download it free or borrow from your freind and you are ready to play online . Hit the Find servers option . You will get a list of servers which can be filtered using the filters option.
99 percent of the servers in the list will be chinese,malasian,korean and japanese .SO if u are from india most of the times u will be kicked out of the servers due to high ping .Or else you wont be able to join because most of those servers are sxe protected . Sxe is a anti-hack tool that prevents players from hacking . So download sxe client and run it before u join the game .
Non steam servers are hard to find . A guy must have created a dedicated non steam server . If you have a stable connection you can try creating non steam server through this process.
4) Hamachi
- Download Hamachi .
- After installing it , create a network using the option below in the hamachi window or else you can join existing netwrok of your friends .If you have created the netwrok you need to invite people to join ur network.
- Now you can join a server by using the command Connect host_IPaddress . Remember that IP address should be the one hamachi shows not your computer IP address . for ex- connect 5.135.23.34 and if u create the server ask ur netwrok freinds to connect using ur hamachi ip_address .
- Now sometimes while trying to connect you get class C errors whihc happens when the first 2 sections of ip address are not same . so for that the host need to do the following steps
- Go to window and check the box show advanced options .
- Then right click on the players name and click on advanced.
- On the Peer VPN alias box enter the first three parts of ur(if u are the host,otherwise host;s address ) Hamachi IP address and add the last part of the player’s IP address such that it is different from other players .
For ex – you are the host , ur IP is 5.24.23.122 and the player who wishes to join has and address 5.36.34.456 then all u need to is set is IP as 5.24.23.1 using VPN alias box .similarly for other players u can change the last part as 2,3,4 etc.
