What is inside this cs 1.6 cfg package
| File | Size | What it does |
|---|---|---|
config.cfg |
4,186 bytes | Main config – optimized network rates (cl_cmdrate 101, cl_updaterate 101, rate 25000), graphics settings (gl_texturemode, brightness 3, gamma 3), and standard competitive settings |
userconfig.cfg |
796 bytes | Personal settings file – edit this to change your name, sensitivity and crosshair without touching config.cfg. Loads after config.cfg so any setting here overrides the main config |
