Find the files CS2 wrote your settings into

There is no recording of this one yet. The steps below are the whole of it — they are what the video would be showing.

1. 01Make the game write them out firstOpen the console in CS2 and run host_writeconfig. The files on disk are whatever was saved last, which is not necessarily what you are playing with right now — a setting changed this session may only exist in memory until you quit.
2. 02Open your userdata folderGo to Steam\userdata\<account id>\730\local\cfg\. The account id is the short SteamID3 number rather than the seventeen-digit one, and if there is only one folder inside userdata, that is yours.
3. 03Take the three files that mattercs2_user_convars_0_slot0.vcfg holds your settings, cs2_user_keys_0_slot0.vcfg holds your binds, and cs2_machine_convars.vcfg holds the ones tied to this machine rather than to you. Everything else in that folder is the game's own bookkeeping.
4. 04And cs2_video.txt, if you want your graphics settings tooResolution, refresh rate and the graphics ladder live in that one, in a different format, and none of it can be set from the console. The converter leaves it out for that reason; a saved config on this site will show it.
5. 05Copy them somewhere else before you experimentThe game rewrites these on exit. A copy on the desktop costs nothing and is the difference between trying something and losing four years of settings.
