CS:GO lets players customize many things in-game. You can change your resolution, video settings, crosshairs, and more. Most of these changes are made on the game's console, where you only need to press the ~ key to toggle it. However, there's one big problem. When you restart the game, your settings often reset, too!
It's frustrating to have to redo everything each time. To fix this, many players use something called an "autoexec." This command saves your particular settings, which means. you don't have to re-enter them every time you play.
An autoexec is a file where you can save your game settings. It can include things like crosshair style, buy binds, and sensitivity. When you start CSGO, the game will load these settings automatically. It is super helpful because you don't have to set everything up again each time.
And there's more! You can use your autoexec anywhere. Just upload your autoexec file if you're on a different computer. It works even on LAN events. Once you add it to the game, you'll have all your usual settings ready.
This step-by-step guide follows on importing configs and making your autoexec file.
