Being able to configure your server is the perfect way to customise and personalise your CS2 server. With a Shockbyte server, we provide a custom server settings file that is accessible and easy to use. This configuration file facilitates settings such as server name, maps, password, and more. 
Accessing your Server Settings
Your primary server settings can easily be found in the Config files section of your server's control panel.
- Access your control panel and Stop your server.
- Navigate to Files > Config Files.
- Click CS2 Server Settings.
