CS:GO Windows Guide

Requires steamCMD

1. Create a folder for SteamCMD and for your CS-GO Server.  I normally place this on the root of my drive (c:\)

windowscsgocreatefolder
C:\steamcmd\
C:\CSGOServer\
2. Download the SteamCMD (Windows) Update Tool.

downloadsteamcmdcsgo
3. Extract the contents of the zip to the folder.

You will see the SteamCMD.exe, Double click for it to execute.

This will download more files and then leave you with a black command line window.

Next we will start downloading the CS-GO server setup files.  To update your server you will use this same code in SteamCMD


login anonymous
force_install_dir C:\CSGOServer
app_update 740 validate

steamcmdcsgosuccess

Inside the path you set you will see the CSGO Server files and one of those files will be called srcds.exe

This is the actual server executable and you can change what type of CSGO Server starts, Max Players, Maps, and more by using different parameters.  For a Full list check our Config Tab.

    I think you should add more mods info like
    Classic Competitive : srcds -game csgo -console -usercon +game_type 0 +game_mode 1 +mapgroup mg_active +map de_dust2
    Arms Race : srcds -game csgo -console -usercon +game_type 1 +game_mode 0 +mapgroup mg_armsrace +map ar_shoots
    Demolition : srcds -game csgo -console -usercon +game_type 1 +game_mode 1 +mapgroup mg_demolition +map de_lake
    Deathmatch : srcds -game csgo -console -usercon +game_type 1 +game_mode 2 +mapgroup mg_allclassic +map de_dust
