Essential improvements
Skip intro videos
-
-no-browser
disables server video ads.
Increase performance
- The game has some compatibility issues with older operating systems such as Windows 7 due to the outdated graphics stack (WDDM).[2]
Change operating system[citation needed]
|
- Back up your files and programs.
- Go to Microsoft site.
- Select at will the type of transition to Windows 10.
- Upgrade to Windows 10 or reinstall from scratch.
- Download and install the latest drivers for your configuration, in particular, the video card.
- Turn off the transparency of the desktop interface in the system settings in the personalization color section.
- You can also turn on the game mode in the system settings to ensure a higher priority of the game in automatic mode.
Notes
- This action is the cornerstone of stability and smoothness of the gameplay, as Windows 10 has more advanced basic elements that the game requires.
|
- Additionally, you can disable fullscreen optimizations to reduce FPS drops and improve response time through the properties of the launch file in the compatibility section.
Enable DirectX 9Ex mode
|
- Open Steam.
- Go to launch options CSGO.
- Enter
-d3d9ex and save.
- You can also uncap your FPS
+fps_max 0 .
- Since March 2019, the DirectX 9Ex functionality has been returned to the version of this CSGO engine. [2]
- Support for this renderer is available starting only from Windows Vista and newer for Windows 7/8/8.1/10.
- Perhaps a negative effect for users of video adapters from AMD.
|
- You can also disable the function of HPET which is a technology of high-precision timer in the motherboard.
- This can sometimes cause performance problems.
- You can keep timer resolution manually.
Disable HPET[3]
|
Method 1:
- Tap on the Windows-key, enter cmd, right-click cmd.exe in the results listing and select to run the command prompt with administrative privileges.
- To enable HPET as the only timer run the command bcdedit /set useplatformclock true
- To disable HPET in Windows run the command bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformclock
- Restart your computer.
Method 2:
- Search "Device Manager" on your PC.
- Scroll down to "System Devices" and open the sub-menu.
- Scroll to "High Precision Event Timer" and click it.
- Click "Actions" at the top of the window, and from that pop-up menu, click "Disable".
- Restart your computer.
|
Increased Stability (32-bit Operating Systems)
- CS:GO can crash when loading the next map if you're on a 32-bit operating system. To address this, you'll need to edit a txt file.
- The crash is caused by going over 4 GB total memory usage, which isn't possible for a 32-bit OS.
setting.mem_level[citation needed]
|
- Go to
<Steam-folder>\userdata\<user-id>\730\local\cfg
- Open
video.txt .
- Find
setting.mem_level and replace "1" with "0"
- Launch the game, and load several maps in a row to make sure it worked.
Notes
- Turning down settings such as shadow or model resolution can also help to prevent CTD's.
|
CS:GO won't broadcast the server you're connected to if you're playing on a community server.
Use the cl_join_advertise 2 command[4]
|
Host 128 tickrate servers
By default self-hosting a server will always launch in 64 tickrate.
Special singleplayer map that allows you to configure settings that aren't normally accessible via in-game UI.
