At the beginning paste this commands in CS2 launch options:

-novid -high -exec autoexec -nojoy -refresh X -freq X





Description of commands:
-novid - Disables video at the beginning.
-high - Sets high priority for CS2 on your PC, it can help you with performance.
-nojoy - This command disables joystick for CS2, it can make some FPS/smoothness of game.
-exec autoexec - This command written in launch options will automatically apply autoexec every CS2 launch.

(If you don't want this, just don't paste this into launch options, do it just in game, open console with ` key and type manually.)

-refresh X - This command sets how many Hz your monitor has, it's not necessary but it can help if you have problems with that.

-freq X - It is probably the same thing as refresh command, you don't have to add it, but you can.

X - Your own monitor frequency (Hz)

For comfortable editing .cfg files you need program to edit text files like:

• Visual Studio Code
  
  
• Notepad++

Download one of these and after that follow this instructions:

• Go to steam library
  
• Right-click on CS2 -> Properties
  
  
  
  
• Installed Files -> Browse...
  
  
  
  
• Then go to this path: game/csgo/cfg
  
• In windows explorer at the top (VIEW button) then show button at the bottom and make shure that you have checked "File name extensions" setting.
  
  
  
  
• Create "autoexec.cfg" file.
  
• Open it with one of recommended programs and now you can fill your cfg with my useful commands.

I chose all (in my opinion) necessary commands and binds to autoexec.

If you want you can just copy and paste this into your AUTOEXEC, but i recommend to test all by yourself, you know preferences.

Here you'll know how to change your viewmodel, crosshair and how to customize your HUD by yourself in basic way.

How to change HUD settings:

Go to VIDEO settings in CS2

You can change HUD position with button on screenshot:



You can also change color of your HUD and its size here:




For crosshair i recommend to use CROSSHAIR GENERATOR from steam Workshop from Crashz':
https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3070193546

This is how it looks:



It's very simple, just click on "subscribe" button, then go to CS2 -> Play -> Worskhop maps -> Choose map and go on.






If you want to change viewmodel you i recommend to use VIEWMODEL GENERATOR from steam Workshop by Crashz':

https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3070284069

This is how it looks:

You can skip first way for performance, but i think its helpful in-game.

1. windows search ->
type - "graphics settings"->
click change default graphics settings ->
optimization for windowed games and TURN ON

(it can reduce your input lag in game which is very important)

2. For AMD users:

DESKTOP RIGHT CLICK ->



Radeon Software ->
GAMING ->
GRAPHICS ->
Radeon Anti-Lag - ON



(It helps to reduce input lag in games, it's very helpful.)

3. For NVIDIA users:

Go to CS2 advanced video settings in game, turn on NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency. Option only for Nvidia card users, even better than AMD anti-lag.



4. PROCESSOR HIGH PERFORMANCE

1. In windows search type "Power plan"



2. Click "Advanced power plan"



3. Then choose "High performance" and click "ok".



(Sets the processor for better performance)

In this section i'll show you how to change CS2 colors to more "candy" with AMD Software and Nvidia Geforce Experience

Some of you can remember program called "SweetFX" from old coutner-strike, the purpose of this program was to change your game colors to more saturated, that means it looked like candy.

It would look similar to this:



Here is how to do that with AMD card, without any thir-party softwares fully legal.

1. Go into AMD software.



2. In HOME tab click this arrow underlined in red.



3. Click 3 dots, then add game.



4. Go to cs2.exe location in explorer, then click and open.




!WARNING!

There is two cs2 profiles in AMD SOFTWARE if you ever launched CS2, after add game proper is "cs2" not "Counter-Strike 2"
If you will change any setting in AMD for "Counter-Strike 2" profile, nothing changes.





5. If you have 2 monitors choose the right one, which you're playing.
6. Enable "Color Temperature Control" setting and change saturation from 100 to 200 or any what you want to.



Now your skins and game looks a lot better :)

For NVIDIA you don't need to struggle with this like in AMD.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

All you have to do is get "GEFORCE EXPERIENCE" (similar to AMD Software, program for driver updates etc.)

1. Open Geforce Experience
2. Go to settings on right bottom
3. In GENERAL enable "IN-GAME OVERLAY"



After enabled In-game overlay in Geforce Experience you have to boot up your CS2.
In game click "ALT + Z" (Default) and you'll see Geforce panel.
Then, on left side click "Game Filter"



Now on left side you can see styles panel, choose between 1-3, and now you can edit.

You can use same settings like on screenshots, but i really recommend to edit it with own preferences to get the best color looking for you.







Now your skins and game looks a lot better :)

if you found this guide useful you can leave a like, reward, add to favorites and share it to your friends if you want to.
If there are new features for the game, I will probably add them here.
Thank you for your attention.
