Counter-Strike 2 settings,
saved and synced.

ConfigSync ships Counter-Strike 2’s real menu — 81 settings across video, keyboard / mouse, keybinds, crosshair, radar, hud, audio — and a companion that reads them from the game’s own files on Steam. Keep a preset for every situation, see what changed, and put the one you want on any PC.

Every CS2 setting, by name

The menu as the game shows it, with the config key underneath — so what you save is what the game reads.

The files the companion reads and writes

Where Counter-Strike 2 keeps its config on each launcher. The companion finds them itself; you never type a path.

Questions about CS2

Does ConfigSync change CS2's files while the game is running?

No. Counter-Strike 2 reads its config at start-up and rewrites it on exit, so the companion only applies a preset while the game is closed — it waits and applies as soon as the process (cs2, cs2.exe) is gone. Every file is backed up next to itself first.

Which CS2 files does it read?

cs2_video.txt, cs2_user_convars_0_slot0.vcfg, cs2_user_keys_0_slot0.vcfg, cs2_machine_convars.vcfg — the files Counter-Strike 2 itself writes. Only the keys ConfigSync knows are touched; everything else in the file is kept byte for byte.

Is it free?

Yes: Free keeps three games with ten snapshots per preset, and the companion is included. Pro (2.99 €/month or 10 € once while ConfigSync is in alpha) adds unlimited games, the full history and automatic sync of every PC.

What about Steam Cloud?

Steam Cloud can restore an older file when the game launches. If a change disappears, turn Cloud sync off for Counter-Strike 2 and apply the preset again.

Your CS2 setup, on every PC you play on.

Free for three games, no card. ConfigSync keeps a snapshot of every change.
