CS:GO Live Status






STEAM STATUS

Steam is the biggest gaming platform in the world. Often millions of users are
online at the same time. Because Steam (or it's operator Valve) doesn't provide
an official way to check the health of its platform, steamstatus.io gives you a
simple overview of the current network status. This includes the Steam Store,
Community and the gaming servers for CS:GO, Dota 2 and Team Fortress 2.

For the first, Steam downtimes are very rare! But in case something goes wrong
there is a big community that will take note of the incident and it turns into a
pretty large event.
Please note that the status of Steam may differ by your location. Also, there is
the possibility of global network failures that affect the reachability of Steam
but also of other web services.


IS STEAM DOWN?

Steam is made of several independent services. If there are downtimes they are
probably limited to a single service. Also based on your location the server
status can be different. Users are connected to a nearby located server or data
center by default. Which means that a user from the United States can experience
downtimes, while for a user from Russia or China everything is fully available.


STEAM SERVER STATUS

The current steam server status of the selected service we display to you is in
most cases based on your current location. We resolve your IP address to get
that information. So in case, you use a proxy, or basically, an IP that points
to a location that differs from your real one it could be wrong. If you want to
avoid that or like to see it more visually you can use our virtual health maps.
There you can see all available locations that we are able to track at the
moment. One more advantage with the maps is that you can see where it is down
and where it is up. So you are able to switch to a nearby location if possible.


LIVE MAPS TO VIEW THE STATUS

Our live maps are indicating in a pretty cool way how the status of the steam
network is right at the moment. The available locations are different for every
map and part of the network. By watching for the speed and color of the dot at
your nearest location you are able to see how high the load is right now.

Blue Dot
A normal or slightly speeding blue dot indicates a stable network status, with
some higher than usual but okay load. Speed and reachability should not be
affected right now. At least not due to Steam.

Orange Dot
A speeding orange dot is shown if the network is under high load. Short outages
are possible, but especially a decreased speed while loading the Community,
Store or other services. This can happen if a part of the network is down and
capacities are lower than usual or due to an unusual amount of users, for
example during the famous Steam Sales.

Red Dot
The highest level of an outage is indicated by a slowly pulsating red dot. In
this case, we are not able to reach the part of the network and it may be
completely down. But stay strong! It should be back online very soon.


WHAT TO DO IF STEAM IS DOWN?

If Steam is down you can't do much. Contacting the Steam Support won't help as
they probably already know about an outage. Instead, just wait and take a break.
To be notified of changes you can follow us at your favorite service!


HOW DO WE MONITOR THE STATUS?

To monitor the Steam status we use different ways based on the selected service.
Steam itself provides an API that delivers information about the number of live
users and the gaming servers. This includes CS:GO, Dota, and Team Fortress. All
status information regarding these topics is based on the information that Steam
provides. Also, the Web API availability is somehow based on that. We simply
track if we are able to access the Web API, it responses and response times.
For the availability of the Steam Store and the Steam Community, we use our own
technology to check the response and loading times.


DO I HAVE TO REFRESH THE PAGE?

To be up to date with the current status you do not need to refresh the page
manually. Normally the views should update itself every 40 seconds. You probably
won't even notice that. In case we can't do the updates manually this can vary.
You will then see a popup on your screen that asks, or better said recommends
you to update the status by a simple button click.


BY THE WAY, WHAT IS STEAM?

Steam was introduced in 2003 by the Valve Corporation (previously a developer
studio) as a replacement for the World Opponent Network. WON was used as the
previous multiplayer platform for Counter-Strike and Team Fortress Classic. The
reason for this change was mostly because of the huge success of CS and TFC and
therefore needed changes in the long run.
Moreover, Valve had the idea to use Steam not just as their new multiplayer
platform but also as a new way to distribute computer games. Half-Life 2 was the
first game that required the Steam client to be playable at all. From now on
games can be bought online on Steam with a direct download, but also updated or
expanded with add-ons. Beside Valve also other publishers were able to sell
their games on Steam soon. As the profit margin by online distribution was much
higher it was highly appreciated by the most studios and publishers.




In 2007 the Steam Community was introduced. Users are now able to create a
public profile with visible images and texts, but also statistics about the
owned games and activity. Friends, groups or clans, as well as the text and
voice chats, brought a huge change and are probably responsible for a big
portion of Steam's and Valve's success.
Within games, the community is usable with the Steam Overlay. This solidified
the connection between (online) community and gaming even more.



The connection between games and online services is one of the main reasons why
a properly uptime of the Steam servers is very important for its users.
