How to setup CS2
On any fresh install of CS2 there are a couple of things that we have to do to get the most out of the game.
Most of the things on this page revolve around the developer console so we have to enable it first.
More experienced players (and people that have attended LAN tournaments) will probably want to setup an autoexec file to automatically load their settings and commands every time they start the game.
Below you can find the guides for each of the things we have to do.
How to Enable and Open the Developer Console
The developer console is, in short terms, a text box that you can type commands into. These commands can do all sorts of things like change your FOV, change your graphics settings, interact with the server, set up binds... The list goes on!
How to create an autoexec file for CS2
An autoexec file allows you to automatically load your console commands and settings every time you start CS2. This guide will walk you through creating the autoexec.cfg file, adding the necessary commands, and enabling it through Steam launch options.
