About The Project

MVukanichh's Counter-Strike 2 Config is a config template. Its main purpose is to serve as a template for personal customization as it is well-documented and easy to read and edit since it's organized into multiple config files, categorizing configs into separate files.

Note

While it's both intended to and recommended to edit configs provided in this template, it is also possible to use them as-is, since MVukanichh's CS2 Config(s) strive to have out-of-box optimized and (hopefully) best configured settings.

Important

As of 15th of February 2024, Counter-Strike 2 switched to new scancode-based binds system, which are linked to scan-codes of keys and not their names.

The crosshair is designed for a 2560x1080 resolution. Experience with it may vary on different resolutions, and further editing of it might be needed.

Getting Started

As stated previously, MVukanichh's CS2 Config can be used as-is, but it is highly recommended to edit to suit the user's preferences.

Prerequisites

For MVukanichh's CS2 Config to be usable, the next software should be installed beforehand:

• Counter-Strike 2
• Notepad++
  • Notepad++ is used to edit Configs to match users' preferences. It is recommended to use Notepad++ instead of Windows Notepad, as it has better formatting and better readability.

Installation

MVukanichh's CS2 Config includes optimized config templates, as stated before, but also a closed-caption file used as a replacement for text mod and optimized launch options, thus two separate installation processes must be followed:

Warning

As of 14th of December 2023, Text Mods have been disabled in Counter-Strike 2. In order to work around that, closed-caption file must be created and used instead. As of 26th of April 2024, according to xPaw, Textmod (close-captions file) no longer works.
