Additionally, you can always keep an extra save of your file handy and use it for when you’re playing on a different PC at a LAN or wherever your adventures take you.
By creating an autoexec and placing it in your game’s files, the game will automatically load these settings from the file every time you start CSGO. In essence, an autoexec is a personal config file that you place in CSGO’s game files that contains your own personal settings (sensitivity, buy binds, crosshair settings, resolution, etc). Because, as we all know, having to retype our settings each time after reset is a massive annoyance.
Whether you’ve experimented with the vast number of customization options offered before or not, we’ll walk you through how to make sure you never lose your hard custom work by creating an autoexec config file to be used in CSGO. In CSGO, it’s inevitable that you’ll start looking to customize your gaming experience. Open the autoexec with notepad, clear out the initial contents and add your custom commands to the autoexec, and make sure the last line in the file is ‘host_writeconfig’.Create an “autoexec.cfg” file by copying any other cfg file and renaming it to autoexec.(If you have the default installation path, it will be C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\cfg) Then open the “csgo” and then the “cfg” folders. Right click CSGO in Steam, click "Manage" then click on "Browse local files".
