It sounds like the solution is to keep the game open for awhile before going into multiplayer? You say "until you see the game console or wait 5-10 seconds after you saw the intro video." How long is that specifically?

I don't play CS:GO but I've seen the "No user logon" error when playing other games online, specifically Portal 2 and It Takes Two.

> I'd love to get feedback

Please put the solution in the tl;dr. The write-up is interesting for some folk, including many on HN (and myself) but the average person looking up this error could not care less about the intricacies of the code or network calls that cause the error, they just want to fix it.

(added in edit) The "You can skip to No user logon if you don’t care about the history." link that doesn't jump to the answer would be extra frustrating for someone who is just looking for the solution. From a pc there is a table of contents and the fact that there is a "Solution" section is great, but a phone user does not see that.

Thanks, very valuable feedback.

I do not know the exact answer of how long it takes to get into the `game` loop and it is depending on your system also. To know for sure, you can type

  status
into the CS2 ingame console. If it shows this, you know you are ready to go:

  [EngineServiceManager] @ Current  :  game
I've put the solution to tl;dr now. Thanks!
