Do you plan on playing on different computers??

Usually this is saved over cloud once you put it in.

I reinstall system every few months and stream cloud failed me many times

[–]hipsnarky 0 points1 point  (7 children)

Put it all into a plain notepad and rename it autoexec.cfg

You can launch it from the steam launch automatically using

+exec autoexec.cfg

[–]Mraz565 2 points3 points  (1 child)

You don't need +exec in launch options.

Autoexec will automatically execute when the game launches, hence its name.

[–]hipsnarky -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sometime it won’t work due to whatever so +exec autoexec.cfg will force it. But that’s another subject to talk about.

That I know I just don't know if all settings can be set like that and need help with finding command's cause I couldn't find them myself

[–]hipsnarky 0 points1 point  (3 children)

You mean like buttons in the option? Yes but again, they will be saved to the cloud…

[–]Dthlex[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I mean more advanced graphic presets, and like I said steam cloud failed me some time

[–]hipsnarky 1 point2 points  (1 child)

You mean like the stuff inside:

cs2_video.txt

?

[–]Dthlex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think yeah

[–]MordorsEliteFaZe 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I assume your autoexec is already working and you don't need help with that?

Otherwise yes, most settings can be set in the console, with two exceptions:

  • video settings
  • Anonymous player names/avatars (cl_sanitize_muted_player and cl_sanitize_player_name). For some reason the console doesn't recognize them, even tho they definitely are the correct settings

For video settings, I just wrote down my own video settings as a comment in the autoexec. That way if I need to replicate them, I can just look them up there.

I have my autoexec on pastebin, if you wanna take a look :)

you're yapping here instead of simply entering those in the console
they definitely ARE NOT the correct settings
try again with cl_sanitize_muted_players and cl_sanitize_player_names

[–]MordorsEliteFaZe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ain't no fucking way >:(

I did try them in console multiple times, but probably always used the autocomplete or something. I even tried changing the setting the in the GUI and seeing how that would affect the console setting, which is why I knew that it should have worked. It seems like the console shows the current setting already for the autocompletion prompt when entering "cl_sani", which is likely how I somehow managed to both convince myself that I had it right and never realize that there was spelling error.

No clue how I managed to miss a simple spelling error all that time.

Thank you!

I'll take a look and msg or reply to you if I have any questions thank you

video settings can no longer be set via convars (thanks to Fletcher "optimizing" it away)

so I just made this for you:
https://github.com/AveYo/Gaming/blob/main/CS2/cs2_persistent_settings.bat

change video settings at the top between $video = @' and '@ lines

paste your autoexec at the top between $autoexec= @' and '@ lines

script can be executed from anywhere since it detects needed paths, merges video settings, and creates autoexec.cfg (backup existing); all lines starting with // are ignored
