How to Access the Demo Menu in CS:GO

The demo viewer is definitely one of the most convenient features across the entire Counter-Strike franchise, and it is every bit as valuable in the latest edition, CS:GO. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned professional, the demo viewer is an excellent way to examine gameplay performance. By reviewing matches, you can identify weaknesses and refine strategies to improve your gameplay.

How to Open the Demo Menu in CS:GO

In this guide, we’ll show you how to access the demo menu in CS:GO and make the most of this valuable feature.

To access CS: GO’s demo menu, follow these steps:

1. Open up the game and navigate to the main menu.
2. Then click on the ‘Settings’ tab, which is the gear symbol in the lower-left corner of your screen. Select “Game Settings.”
3. Scroll down the page until you find “Enable Developer Console.” Toggle the option to “Yes” and click “Apply” to activate the console.
4. Next, bind the console function to a key of your choice. In the “Keyboard and Mouse” section, locate “Toggle Console,” select it, and assign a key to open the console. Ensure it does not conflict with other key bindings.
5. Click “Apply,” close the options menu, and you’re ready to proceed.

With the developer console enabled, you’ll need to follow these steps to open the demo menu:

1. Connect to a server and start your match.
2. Press the tilde button (~) or the key you assigned to open the console.
3. Type “playdemo” and press Enter. Your downloaded GOTV files will be displayed on the screen.
4. Choose the desired demo and press Enter to start it.
5. The demo will begin, and its main menu will appear.

To use in-game playback functions:

1. Press “Shift” and “F2” simultaneously to access key moments in slow motion, skip rounds, or fast forward through the demo.
2. Adjust the playback speed using the slider on the right side.

To start another demo file:

1. Press “Load…” and select a demo from your storage device.

How to Toggle Demo UI in CS:GO

Another method to control playback, pause, fast forward, or rewind in your demos is by using the CS:GO demo UI. To activate these functionalities, open your console and enter “demoui.” Here’s a look at how you can use it to rewind your demos:

1. Load your demo and initiate playback.
2. Specify the point in the demo where you want to jump by entering the corresponding number of ticks. For instance, input “demo_goto -60 1” to rewind 60 ticks back through the replay.

Conversely, type “demo_goto 60 1” to skip forward 60 ticks.

How to Access the Cheat Menu in CS:GO

To activate cheats in CS:GO, follow similar steps as enabling the demo menu by first enabling the developer console:

1. Launch the game and then click on the ‘Settings icon’ which you’ll see at the bottom of your screen.
2. Navigate to “Game Settings” and find “Enable Developer Console.” Set the option to “Yes” and click “Apply.” The default key you need to press to open the developer console is the “~” button, but you can change it by selecting “Keyboard and Mouse,” then “Toggle Console,” and choosing another key.
3. Once the developer console is enabled, proceed with the following steps:
4. Join a server where you have administrative privileges, or start a bot game.
5. Open the console and enter the command “sv_cheats 1” to enable cheat mode. Cheats will remain active until you enter “sv_cheats 0” to disable them.
6. Enter your desired cheat commands. For example, “noclip” activates fly mode, while “host_timescale 5” increases your movement speed significantly.

Remember, cheats entered through the console are permissible and are a built-in feature of CS:GO. However, using external tools or hacks can result in your account being banned.

What Are the Issues with CSGO’s Demo Viewer?

Despite being a valuable addition to the Counter-Strike franchise, CS: GO’s demo viewer lacks the expected advancements. Instead, it offers an interface that is similar to the 2007 version.

One of the main issues is the way it processes demo files. Each time you make adjustments, the game replays the entire demo, which results in delays as the program scans the demos anew. Consequently, rewind or fast-forward functionalities operate at a slower pace. Although at least you don’t have to start the demo from scratch – although you still have to endure loading times.

Another drawback is the viewer’s interface, which restricts access to other parts of the game’s UI. It even won’t allow switching between players while the UI is active. While these may not seem important initially, this inconvenience becomes significant over time.

Refine Your CS:GO Strategies

Now you know everything you need to know about how to navigate and use the CS:GO demo viewer, you can get playing – and get better. It may not be perfect, but the demo viewer does give you very valuable insights into your performance, so you can identify both your strengths and weaknesses.

By looking over your demos, you can build up your confidence in your strengths and address your weaknesses much more effectively. Activating the console and entering just a few commands is all it takes to access demos, where you can skip to specific sections or slow down the playback to capture the most important details.
