CS2 Server Commands

This command is used to change the map you're playing on.

This network command is used to determine how many seconds your client will wait without receiving a packet from the server before disconnecting itself.

This console command allows you to easily connect to other CS:GO servers if you know the server's IP address.

This command prints to console a list of all console commands (cvars). You can optionally specify part of a command's name as parameter, and only commands that contain that will be listed.

This command will disconnect you from your current game and return you to the home screen (including offline games with bots, scenarios, etc).

This command will change the "frame rate" of the host (server). Lower numbers will mean time passes faster, higher numbers will mean time passes slower. Set to 0 to disable.

This can be used to speed up and slow down the speed of time on the server. In otherwords, you can make things go in slow motion or speed the server up with this command.

This command will save all of your server settings that you have set with host_ commands to your config.cfg, so that they apply even when the server restarts.

This command can be used to set the hosts file (default is hosts.txt). If no argument is specified, this command will print to console the name of the hosts file the server is currently using.

This command can be used to assign the server an IP to run on. If not, the IP 0.0.0.0 (bind to all available) will be used.

The hostname for the server to use (this is your server domain).

The port your server should run on. We recommend you keep this as default. You can run multiple servers on the same IP address if you change this port to a port that isn't in use.

This console command is used to override the IP if you are in a server that has multiple hosts. This does not show your IP in console; to do that use the command status .

This command sets whether or not the auto kick feature should be enabled. The auto kick feature kicks people for being idle (AFK) and team damage. Default is 1 (enabled).

This command sets the rate at which your client can receive network data in bytes. Set this to a lower value if you have a bad internet connection.

This command will issue the specified rcon command (i.e. issues the specified command on your server). Rcon means remote console - it allows you to execute server commands from the client.

This command will authenticate you for rcon with the specified password.

This command sets your server's config file to the specified config file.

This command can be used to set a password required to connect to the server. Set to 0 to disable.

This command, if set to 1, will make the server pausable. By default this is set to 0 (server isn't pausable). If the server is pausable, users can type "pause" or "unpause" into the console to pause/resume the game.

This command, if set to 1, will make it so that the files of every client connected to the server have to match the server's files. Those in the pure_server_whitelist.txt file aren't checked.
