CS2 server not responding to commands

Although it may feel like your commands aren’t working, it’s typically caused by one of the following:

  • You might not be the team captain. It's important to recognize that the person who initiated the party may not necessarily be the designated captain
  • Make sure you're typing the command in the global server chat and not in the team chat
  • Ensure that you are spelling the words correctly (e.g., switch, stay, pause, ready)
  • Avoid adding a space after the command before hitting "enter." For instance, typing '!switch' will function, but 'switch ' (with a space) will not
  • Be aware of the timing; some commands might be disabled during specific moments. For example, if you input !switch before the knife round, the server will not execute the side switch
