We hope you already learned about useful game launch options and how to set up a crosshair to your liking. But how to save those settings so they’re not lost when you launch the game next time? The game client automatically writes all changes to a special configuration file, a config. Config lets you keep your changes which can be altered in any way, so you can feel comfortable when playing CS:GO. Config will help you to quickly set up a game on a new computer. In this guide, we will tell you about saving and installing configs, which config to use to increase your FPS and we will share relevant configs of pro players in 2022.
What is a config in CS:GO?
Config — is a single, or multiple files containing all CS:GO settings, like video parameters, grenade binds, and so on. Every professional player has their own config which is used not only at home, but is taken by them to tournaments as well.
How to save a config in CS:GO?
By default, all settings are stored in this path:
Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\cfg
To make your own config, just open the console and type host_writeconfig “name”.
Put any word instead of “name”. For example, your nickname. It must not contain space, and also only Latin letters can be used. The system will automatically save your config, but in another folder:
Steam\userdata\Your SteamID32\730\local\cfg.
You can follow this link to get your SteamID32, just enter your Steam name in the field.
Go to the folder, copy a config file, save it to a USB flash drive or any other external drive (if you want to use your config on other computers), and then put it in the cfg folder, which we wrote about above.
Now, at any time, you can use your own config with the help of the command exec “name of the config” without quotes.
How to install a config? 2022 pro players’ CS:GO configs.
If you don’t want to bother setting everything up yourself, you can use a working solution. For example, use a config of a CS:GO pro player. This link will get you s1mple’s 2022 config.
The process of installing someone else’s config is the same as the one we described above. Download any pro player’s config file, put it into the cfg folder. Then launch CS:GO and type exec “name of the config” in your console. If a file is called s1mple, then type exec s1mple, that’s how you make a config work.

Don’t forget to take the config out of the archive before putting it into the game’s folder.
