⚡ CSO #1 New Ryzen 9 9950X3D Server + Zero-Lag DDoS Protection: Same IP, Better Ping!

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📦 New hardware acquired!
The new dedicated server has been purchased and the prepayment is done. Our partner delivered it within the promised 14–21 days, and it is now in our hands!
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚡ OLD vs NEW — a massive performance jump

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X (8 cores / 16 threads) ➜ AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D (16 cores / 32 threads) — 2× the cores!
• RAM: 64 GB DDR4 2400 MHz ➜ 128 GB DDR5 — 2× the memory, much faster!
• Storage: 2× 960 GB NVMe (Soft RAID) ➜ 2× 1 TB NVMe
• Network: 1 Gbit/s ➜ 2× 10 Gbit/s (LACP) — 20× faster!
• Power: Single power supply ➜ Redundant power supplies
• OS: Debian 13
• Location: Frankfurt am Main, Germany 🇩🇪

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🛡️ NEW: Zero-Lag DDoS Protection
Our new server comes with zero-lag Protection, a much stronger, game-optimized anti-DDoS:

• Always on: filtering sits permanently in the traffic path, so there's no switch-over lag when an attack starts
• Made for Counter-Strike: uses a dedicated Counter-Strike filter profile that matches our game traffic exactly
• Checks incoming AND outgoing traffic
• Huge capacity: their network has filtered attacks of up to 5.1 Tbit/s
• 99.95% of attacks are blocked automatically

💡 Together with the 20× bigger network (2× 10 Gbit/s), attacks have far less chance to cause lag or kick players.

✅ Current status
The dedicated server has arrived and we've started configuring everything. All server data has already been copied to the new machine and testing is under way.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌐 What does this mean for you?

• Server IP stays the same: 81.181.244.5:27015 — no need to change anything in your favorites!
• Better ping & smoother gameplay for all players
• Fewer lags and more stable FPS, even with a full server and heavy rounds
• Faster map changes and more room for new features

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🛠️ MAINTENANCE COMING NEXT WEEK

• Expected downtime: 30–60 minutes
• Exact date & time: will be announced here on the forum and on our Discord a few days before the maintenance
• During the maintenance: the server, website and stats pages may be offline for a short time
• Your progress is safe: all ranks, levels, money, VIP/SVIP and stats move with us — nothing will be lost

Thanks to all the testing done so far, the move should be quick and smooth.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎉 After the migration is done

• We will post a "Migration complete" message here and on Discord as soon as the server is back online
• Just connect as usual to 81.181.244.5:27015 — nothing to change on your side
