CS2 Configs

Personal CS2 (Counter-Strike 2) autoexec and practice configs.

Installation

Place cfg files in:

<Steam Library>/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/game/csgo/cfg/

Note: The game folder is still called "Counter-Strike Global Offensive" even though the game is CS2. The key difference from CS:GO is the extra game/ directory in the path.

Launch Options

Set these in Steam > CS2 > Properties > Launch Options:

-novid -console +exec autoexec.cfg

Option	What it does
-novid	Skips the intro video on startup
-console	Enables the developer console (toggle with ~ in-game)
+exec autoexec.cfg	Executes the autoexec on launch (CS2 doesn't always auto-run it)

Removed CS:GO launch options

These no longer do anything useful in CS2:

Option	Why removed
-threads N	CS2's Source 2 engine manages threads automatically
-high	Can cause instability; CS2 manages process priority itself
-nojoy	Joystick support is off by default in CS2
-tickrate 128	CS2 uses sub-tick; tickrate is not configurable
-d3d9ex	CS2 uses DX11/Vulkan, not DX9

Files

• autoexec.cfg - Main config: keybinds, settings, buy binds
• practice.cfg - Practice/workshop config: infinite money, grenades, sv_cheats

CS:GO to CS2 Migration Notes

Key changes from the original CS:GO config:

• Grenade binds now use slot6-slot10 instead of use weapon_*
• Network commands (cl_interp, cl_cmdrate, cl_updaterate, cl_forcepreload) are all removed -- server handles netcode
• net_graph replaced by cq_netgraph
• r_cleardecals no longer works on official/competitive servers
• m_rawinput forced on by default, command removed
• Jumpthrow alias may not work reliably on official servers due to sub-tick enforcement
• Buy binds require exact weapon name matching your loadout -- silent fail if mismatched
• Damage display developer trick blocked on official servers (sv_max_allowed_developer 0)
