Nick,

Would you be able to assist me with a config for my laptop? I have been playing CS on a laptop for around 6 years. Usually pushing 30-70 FPS (I know it sucks) but I have made it work competitively. I recently just got a new computer as my old one cannot even turn on. Obviously the main thing for me is taking out the ragdolls and extra stuff. If you could email me at chadtc89@yahoo.com that would be fantastic!

I'm trying to get back into CS!

Thanks for helping out @Iraos @Rashy

@soflotc Unlike previous versions of CS there are barely any commands outside of the settings panel that will be able to improve your FPS in CS:GO :(
You could play at a lower resolution to improve your FPS a little.

Hey Budi,
I just started playing. I know what to do with the autoexe.cfg, but dont know what/or where i'm supposed to put the video.txt. :(

@xplay51 video.txt goes in the cfg folder as well.

@nickbudi,

Thanks for hooking it up with your config but for some reason this got kicked out to me while I was playing competitive...

"An issue with your computer is blocking the VAC system. You cannot play on secure servers."

Here's the link I got routed to after I got disconnect ---- https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2117-ILZV-2837

What do I do? Anyone is welcome to chime in, thanks in advance.

@Sickyota follow the direction given on that steam support page. My config doesn't cause this issue.

Thanks again @nickbudi, I should've just done this in the beginning but I wasn't thinking.

This location ...\Steam\userdata\<Steam3 ID>\730\local\cfg is in regards to syncing your cfg files on Steam.

When you run autoexec.cfg and you have it write to config.cfg, the one stored in ...\Steam\userdata\<Steam3 ID>\730\local\cfg gets written not the one in ...\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\cfg

If you don't want it to sync on Steam, you can add this to launch options -autoconfig +cl_cloud_settings 0

this config gave me huge fps boost i was getting around 120-250 fps and a bit stuttering.after this 250-400fps runs so smooth not kidding!!! only i didnt take the key bindings from it.thanks dude

Hey Nick
I was wondering what these two commands do.

bind . "say .budibudibudibudi;say .ready;say !ready" // custom ready for pugs
bind / "say ;say .dbserver; say .players" // bitcoins

Thank you in advance.

@Runir They're used on ESEA/CEVO/Faceit etc for readying up and viewing player info.

Hey, for some reason when i use these settings the radar is super small (that's probably how you have it) but i really wanna make it bigger through the auto exec, unfortunately i can't find the command (I don't wanna do it through the cs console or UI)
Any help much appreciated :)

NM i got it :) if anyone is wondering its cl_hud_radar_scale "1.00000"

hi,
if i put in launch options "-freq 144 -refresh 144" this options game don't run, you know the problem?
also FPS remain to be limited by 30, if i look fps_max value it is "999" FIX
thanks

@nickbudi Thank you for this great help, can you please just clarify me something?
I have a 60hz monitor, so what commands should I use instead of the -freq 144 -refresh 144?

Cheers//

@ozan4550

This is from BananaGaming's config:

// Rates - These network settings are optimized for high speed internet
rate "786432" //Max rates. Only use if you can get 8 Megabits per second (Mbps) download speed or more.
//rate "250000" //Only use this if you can get 3.5 Megabits per second (Mbps) download speed or more.
//rate "500000" //Only use this if you can get 5.5 Megabits per second (Mbps) download speed or more.

As sammychch said, his FPS got a major increase with this config. I'm still getting my usual 50 after installing this and I've put the autoexec.cfg file into the right place. Is there anything I am doing wrong?

I believe having "fps_max 0" would un-cap the fps setting instead of "fps_max 999"
Both do the trick but in some cases, "fps_max 0" would result in a small fps boost.

I believe having "fps_max 0" would un-cap the fps setting instead of "fps_max 999"

@D3n1s4 Having fps_max 0 makes your loading screens longer, fps_max 999 is much better.

Hi, i don't like 1280x960, i play on my native resolution 1920x1080, what are the best viewmodel/fov values for 1920x1080?

Hey Budi, I can not put my clan tag in in the game settings It won't let me choose any, is it a command in your autoexec that I need to remove ?

Thanks for some great help in this thread

Michael

Hey, can you update this autoexec please?

in the config there is something that is terribly slowing down my computer - mac book pro, now on about 120FPS... any ideas what part of config is it? (used just the autoexec.cfg part, video.txt not yet)

I like the buybinds cfg you have there, it works nicely and I can easily buy things I need using a couple of buttons and not flicking my cursor around a huge circle to get a p250 :/. The xhair, vmodel, and the sens work nice for me, as well as the warmup alias for offline servers.

All you do is type in your console: cl_clanid "0" and then you can select a clan id from the game options.

@jeffff13337 works like a charm, thx man!

(I had this issue with clan tag, too)

I had to change net_client_steamdatagram_enable_override "1" to net_client_steamdatagram_enable_override "0". For some reason, it was preventing the ACCEPT button from showing so I could not get into a game.

How can I show the ping in the screen?
I tried net_graph "1" but it doesnt work

Configs copied, ready to frag.

CSGO 2 when? :(
