In both Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Counter-Strike 2, any player can toggle the in-game developer console and make use of commands to customize their gameplay for a variety of reasons. Say you want to record amazing clips for your next great video creation and need to remove all the clutter on the screen? The draw only death notices command exists for that! Want the round to never end even after multiple hours? It’s definitely possible!

But what if you’re not just focused on the current state of your gaming session, but the ones to follow as well? Figured out the perfect setup on your private server for some friendly competition with friends or got all the tools necessary to practice utility consistently? Look no further than the “host_writeconfig” command.

How Do You Use The Command?

To use any command in the game, you must first access the in-game developer console which is usually bound to the ~ key on your keyboard. In the event your keyboard doesn’t have this key, you can bind the console to open upon pressing any available button you have. Since host_writeconfig is not considered a cheat command, there is no need to input “sv_cheats 1” on the console.

Now, simply type or copy and paste the command “host_writeconfig” to the console. If you have a current config file saved then enter the file’s name right after the original command. Otherwise, leave it blank and the configuration will automatically be sent to the config.cfg file. This can be found in the game’s official files which are accessible through your desktop or the Steam platform before loading into CS.

When Can You Use The Command?

The command “host_writeconfig” can only be used in private servers, not in official matchmaking or competitive play. It is used purely for the convenience of the player that executed the command with the goal of saving the current server’s settings for future use.
