Option 1: connect through Steam
Open Steam
Keep Steam running so your browser can hand the connection link to the Steam client.
Click “Connect”
The 1v1.es button uses a steam://connect/... link with the server address and port.
Allow the browser to open Steam
If your browser asks for permission, accept it. CS2 should start or attempt the connection if it is already open.
Option 2: use the CS2 console command
Open the Counter-Strike 2 developer console and type:
connect 104.234.252.160:27025If you cannot see the console, enable the developer console in CS2 settings and use the key assigned to it, commonly ~ or the equivalent on your keyboard layout.
If the server does not connect
Check IP and port
Copy the full address. The IP without the port may not point to the correct game service.
Keep Steam open
If the browser link does nothing, open or restart Steam and try again.
Try the console
If the console command works but the steam:// link does not, the issue is probably the browser-to-Steam protocol association.
Temporary downtime
If neither method works, the game server may be temporarily unavailable. Try again later.
Save the server for later
Bookmark this page or keep connect 104.234.252.160:27025 somewhere convenient. Once you are connected, use the server commands to change weapons, headshot mode and HUD options.
