Best CS2 Launch Options
There aren’t any settings that are the best for everyone. It’s smart to try out the default condition first, get used to it, and then change things as you get used to it. The best launch options in the future are those that remove all the technical hassles for you.
- -novid -tickrate 128 +fps_max 0 -nojoy
Best CS2 Launch Options for FPS
Frame per second (fps) – this is quite a significant aspect for gamers. If the picture on the screen is large and the game is slow to load, it will be harder for people to navigate, and if there is a long wait, your performance can drop.
The Launch Options FPS settings can improve frames per second for your computer by removing some of the game’s graphical features. Don’t run the following command unless you’re experiencing issues with FPS.
Otherwise, you’d be better off sticking with the defaults. To increase the performance of low-power PCs, change your graphics settings in the game menu.
- +fps_max 0 +mat_disable_fancy_blending 1 +cl_forcepreload 1 +r_dynamic 0 -limitvsconst +cl_showfps 1
In these launch commands, you remove the max limit for FPS (+fps_max 0); disable various aesthetic features of the virtual world (+mat_disable_fancy_blending 1); enable preloading all virtual objects before a match starts (+cl_forcepreload 1); turn off dynamic lightning (+r_dynamic 0); limit vertex shaders (-limitvsconst); and activate showing FPS during CS2 matches (+cl_showfps 1).
You can combine these FPS commands with our set of the best launch options.
That is all we are sharing in this guide for the best launch options for CS2 in 2024. We will be updating this post if we see significant changes being made to the game or it may also change with any future patch or update. Thanks for dropping by!
