leetify.com/voo thx to @frequencyCS for help (and he's helped on many other videos as well) if you're having trouble seeing through molotovs, lowering your brightness and increasing model\texture detail will make it a lot easier. UPDATES to the information in this video: MSAA2x seems to be a beneficial setting if your computer can handle it, as in certain positions it gives a significant boost in visibility through grates - www.reddit.com/gallery/18ikmaw Model/Texture Detail can impact your FPS quite a bit when you're directly next to smokes. heavily PC dependent. at 11:40 the command that should be set to 1 is actually lower in the notepad, "setting.lb_enable_shadow_casting". the setting I show in the video actually WORKS to get shadows back on, however you may lose more FPS than if you change the other setting. note: for the FPS tests, I would change the setting, restart the game, launch directly into a demo, go to tick, start, then end after the same amount of time, every time. each test was 70~ seconds and any odd findings I tested 3-4 more times (and some of them in different settings as well). I tried to make sure it was a round with a significant amount of stuff going on including util and kills.directly next to smokes. heavily PC dependent.

I'd recommend putting "show location" under Show Team Positions in HUD, and binding a hotkey under keybinds for team equipment to mouse5 or something similar so you can still get information of your teams available utility. There's been so many times I've died or not been able to see something because the massive weapon icons are blocking your vision. This still lets you keep the information of your teammates position through walls + their HP without too much vision lost.

Voo doing god's work as always. Thank you. Cs2 release made me want to pick the game up again and I forgot about folks like you over the years, glad you still going, much love

for all those guys doing the settings in warmuptime ==Advanced video settings== *vsync off *player contrast: minor impact, decide for yourself, many pros dont use it *multisampling: None if you play native resolution; CMAA2 when upscaling *shadows: high or very high. Lower settings will reduce viewing distance for shadows. If your system can't handle it, use low and goto 11:35 *model detail: medium *texture filtering: Antisoptic x16 *shader particle: low *ambient occlusion: medium *HDR: quality (gets rid of graininess) *fidelity: pc dependant and if you use downscaling set to performance *NVIDIA reflex: enabled when your system is stronger ==Audio== *eq: crisp (other can better with natural) *L/R isolation: 50% *Perspective correction: OFF *Music: everything 0% Mute MVP Music when Player of both teams are alive - YES

THank you for the vid voo, I was confused what audio setting I should have

The first time i'm so agree with a person about preference settings, good explain

Global Shadow Quality: after the Call to Arms update, setting to Low will disable the shadows from smokes, which can be a competitive advantage in some scenarios (ex: an enemy hiding inside the smoke will have its shadow visible on Low but not on High, because on High the smoke shadow covers it).

Thank you this video very useful

To clear up FSR, enabling it will render your game internally at a lower resolution, at a percentage of the resolution you have the game set at. Performance being something like 50% and quality something like 90% (these numbers are just rough estimates). Only enable it if you are GPU bound (you are maxing out your GPU at 100% usage). Start with quality and keep dropping it until your fps doesnt increase anymore/are no longer GPU bound, or cant stand the graininess lol

you don't need to put autoexec on the launch options, it will trigger automatically if named like that. if you use a different name for the cfg, then it makes sense to put it into the launch options

This one is super important. TYSM!

i always count on voo for cs settings ty voo

the right solution for using black bars in cs2 is by marking that little box "Override... set by programs" then you'll get BlackBars 13:37

Should test the input latency on the display settings as well, probably more important than just 5 fps difference

ty for making this vid. i wasnt really enjoying cs2 cuz some of my settings are scuffed and too lazy to change it without knowing what to do

7:20 I put my first 100 hours into CS after CS2 came out and couldn't agree more: Keep dynamic + follow recoil on for a while before going static. Static is absolutely better ONLY when your movement/accuracy skills improve beyond rookie status. Also just going to say Don't Peek With W while I'm here. Thanks Voo!

another thing with 4:3 stretched is that it also makes it easier to hold very tight angles

6:05 perspective correction works for me well since i play a bit further away from my monitor. Also this same thing was on by default in csgo, but you couldnt change it. Like it says, if you sit extremely close, turn it off. I personally hear better with it on.

Thanks I topped fragged at 110 adr first game using these.

One thing to consider is that texture/model quality is it also affects the bullet tracers. On low they become super large and blurry, which for me makes it hard to keep track of the enemy and where I’m shooting. On medium they become much thinner and less distracting. I’m still waiting for the option to turn them off completely like in csgo.

you can bind the follow recoil setting so it follows ur crosshair only when mouse1 is held

One alias I made as to toggle the follow recoil setting and change the crosshair colour (red is off, green is on). The jumpthrow bind I feel is worthless in CS2, I don't think I've ever failed any jumpthrow that had anything to do with me messing up the jumpthrow rather than the crosshair placement. I'd say pros have it because they are used to it and not because it's of any use, just like with the aspect ratio.

Is there any reason for the setting “Override Scaling mode set by game and programs?” I notice a lot pros use it yet it doesn’t seem needed for stretched res, so what’s the point of it? Is there a reduction in input latency with it?

yay a new voodeo

Awesome video, really goes to show how much just setting everything to "Low" isn't an "end all" solution to low FPS. The HDR grain fix really highlights that some settings are unintentionally not what they seem and may help in different ways.

Multisampling Anti-Aliasing mode is actually critical that you keep it on 2xMSAA or higher, at least on veritgo. If you have it on None or CMAA2, you can't see through the grate on B site

The Model/Texture setting mostly affects FPS while standing close to smokes, the difference is actually huge

Changing resolution also helps for low end cpu's, I have a i3-9100f & GTX 1650 and playing with 1920x1080 medium settings made my cpu run at 100% at 4.0ghz max turbo boost and would also make me crash and stutter so much too but having it at 1600x900 & 16:9 widescreen medium settings makes my cpu run at 60/70%, runs alot smoother n less stutters and havent crashed since

Usually I play good, but now you made me rethink my life. I play on default since always, im shocked how many options people change to play good

Past 5 years been playing with 2000 dpi amd im ok. Recently chamged to 1000 dpi and DAM im now getting average 20 kills per game. It feels much better and i can actual control recoil

no idea how no one came up with this idea ty ik its for views but cool idea!!!!

thanks

wake up babe new voo video dropped

There’s tons of testing that’s been done that shows latency is significantly increased under 800dpi. Optimum tech does great vids on this but basically after 800+ the latency increase is basically negligible but under 800 u start seeing near full millisecond even 2-3 milliseconds when going to 800 to 200. There’s a reason most things advertise minimum for 800. Higher dpi is always best. If u use 800 4.0 sens jump to 1600 half sens in game to 2.0 and watch how it feels more responsive. It’s barely anything but u can notice is if ur running a high refresh rate setup. It’s worth it

heard that Niko is actually slowly increasing his sens

good vid, had to watch another video for the autoexec because this one (the text) didnt work.

A few weeks ago i had some guy arguing with my that stretched res wasn't a disadvantage and that the people were bigger and easier to hit when the only difference it makes is deleting a 5th of your fov, and im not saying its bad and you shouldn't use it, play whatever you're comfortable with, but it still IS a disadvantage, wether the placebo works for you or not

I was playing on high settings, but i changed it after watching this video. Now my game is lagging, thank you voo 🙂

4:50 I played 360p with performance fsr. I wasn't able to see fella on goose from pit wout scope.

thank mr voo

Another problem with follow crosshair is it only accounts for the recoil pattern of the gun, not the inaccuracy from moving while shooting, so it can give false confidence when someone sprays and moves.

nice video

Would you recommend Gsync on or off with these settings?

Вау! 7% это много! Спасибо за связку 👍

These are not videos. These are courses!!! 😍

I've heard texture filtering mode lags more in water on higher setting, haven't tested it though.

Thank you based Voo

I binded toggle follow recoil, and i especially use it on pistols, bcs there u cannot learn the spray pattern

does resolution effect audio settings? like perspective correction and stuff?

I seem to get more fps with boost player contrast on. You said it cost more fps but you showed stats with higher fps with the option on.

bro ur voice is like a knife in my ear!

This video was exhausting to keep up with.

The screenshots of the nvideo control panel were missing a bunch of setting. Was that everything?

OMG toggling Perpsective Correction is a gamechanger. why did Valve decide to default that to Yes!?! Thank you!

4:58 I think you mean low res enabled, high res disable? Tried enabling it on 1280 and it’s a grainy mess lol

This is just focused on fps, but some of these ingame settings also increase your latency.

I hate that the same action can't be bound to two separate keys. I used to play with "Jump" on space, but also on the mouse "scroll down", and "crouch" on CL and "scroll up". Now I can choose only one. And PLUS I can set a weapon in my left hand!!!!

thanks for the video shocked there is no jokes in here like the last video with valorant, or baitF for example lolo

MVP

try disable cpu 0, and test fps benchmark 😊

can someone tell me in audio settings, what the VOIP Threshold should be at?? i don't see it in his walk through and i kinda don't understand it, and also under game settings, buffering to smooth over packet loss? i have a very high end pc.

0:21 my heart just awwh :(

My game doesn't show WHO threw smokes/flasbangs etc. in the chat area. How to turn this on? I can't seem to find it in the setting? Thanks.

I found that Anisotropic Filtering is broken, anything above bilinear looks identical or very similar to x16

Voo ❤

10:01 what lol, i use HE:4 smoke: mouse5 flash: mouse4 molotov: T (graffity is h) bomb: 5 while i also have my F key unbound and radar toggle is under Q

1080 nvidia reflex ON or OFF?

1600 dpi have less input lagg than 400 dpi, i was playing with 400 dpi 2.2 sens now 1600 dpi with 0.5 sens.

Rtx 3060ti, fullscreen scaling gpu or monitor?

21560x1440 is one crazy ultrawide monitor

idk when cs2 was firs released my laptop handled it well for 4 months nicly but i took a break because of exams i came after two months its really laggy and my fps drops very low from 60 to 30 or 1 is there a solution?

my sens is 400dpi and 1.8 in game its pretty solid

for me anything lower that native is very shimmery and aliased, fsr is useless at 1440p and lower. Im very sensitive to image clarity. It's funny cuz i was fine with lower res in cs go

I believe you’ve made an error at 11:53. When you change that “setting.csm_viewmodel_shadows” to 1. I think you mean the “setting.lb_enable_shadow_casting" to 1 instead to get working player shadows.

You dont need the autoexec in launch options anymore. CS2 automatically execs the autoexec

What OS do you need to use for better FPS in CS2, W10 or W11? I've heard that W11 has more FPS, about 7 - 10 more, but has stuttering and is unstable

Does wjumpthrow work? It wasn't working for months

My game is randomly minimizing after I did this all specs. Also, while gaming, sometimes my click goes to the second screen, even tho is fullyscreened the game. I don'0t know

can someone help? i get around 300fps but sometimes maybe in a round or maybe once in a 5m or so my fps drops to 5-10fps and i dont understand why my pc consistens of: 16gb ram rtx 3050 amd ryzen 5600

Ok Niko plays with 540 edpi but doest he has mouse acceleration on? It actually matters

Hello everyone, i got a new pc i7 13th gen rtx 4060ti and for some reason from time to time cs2 freez sometimes for a sec sometimes for like 5 sec or more, top right screen appears and ms, fps and pack loss thing for 1-2 seconds and then disapear. i didnt have this problem on my (very old) pc. how can i fix this? thanks

Considering to change your name to voo CS2? :D

Voo, the autoexec runs without including it in your launch options. Let the world know!

how come youre still recommending a normal jumpthrow bind? I don't find that i ever miss smokes because of the integrated jumpthrow in this game.

I play from 2013 and i never had a jump trough bind, I just do it from keyboard

If that's spelled antisotrophic, I'm now curious what sotrophic filtering would be.

Which one is that sticker on your ak empress?

My cs2 was working fine no lag all of sudden it has started dropping fps to 30 40. Its unplayable it is consuming 40 - 44% of memory. I have good system specs.

"+exec autoexec" is one of those settings that drives me insane, like "-freq 144 -refresh 144" when WINDOWS AND GPU IS BLOODY WELL SET TO 144 ALREADY. 👿redundant redundancy is redundant.

8:19 This is completely true, I used to play on 1.75 sense and 2000DPI, changed to 1.15/800 and started wrist aiming instead of arm aiming and noticed I could micro-adjust and make more accurate shots.

i love you

Source for the reddit post on intel threads?

Anisotropic, not Antisotropic filtering. Great video btw :)

Strange. I saw like 20 videos and I am confused. Can anyone Tell me, how much fps should I get in 1440p on i7-11700k, 32Gb ddr4 ram and RTX3090 please?

What about Adaptive Sync (GSync or FreeSync) ? Should we use it or does it add lag like v-sync?

Hating 1.6 is wild

For the past 3 months, ever since they"updated" the smokes... I've been getting stutters. I have tried 7 "fixes" I've read about online... None of them help. I have a great PC and never have had any problems before that smoke update... I'm losing hope.

i change my nade binds through controls settings but it resets to default every single time after i close the game. any fixesfor that?

1:44 21560x1440p is crazy

I tried 4k res on all ultra and hd res all on low with 3090ti and I had the same fps and latency of ~ 20 ms
