Once you purchase a csgo server host from ElixirNode’s csgo server hosting you will need to be able to connect to it in game some how. Since Counter Strike hosting is not fully officially supported by Valve you will need to use the developer console to connect to the server as shown below. You can learn how to enable the console here.
STEP 1
First things first, You need to launch CS:GO! You can either launch it from steam or your desktop icon. If the game needs to update let it do it’s update or you may not be able to connect to your csgo server.
STEP 2
To connect to your csgo server running on our Counter Strike Hosting, enter your console using ~ while you are on the main menu. The console allows you to use many different commands and most importantly for this tutorial the
connect
command.
STEP 3
Once in the console type
connect serverip:port
for example to connect to one of Bananagaming’s Retake servers you will type in console
connect 49.12.128.124:27001
and then press enter or click submit. From there you should be able to connect to the csgo host and play! ElixirNode’s csgo server hosting is one of the fastest around so if you are unable to connect to your csgo server make sure it is running and that your plugins or addons are working properly. You can find your CSGO server’s IP:Port within the game panel.
