    Enabling the console in CS:GO

    There are two methods for enabling the console in Counter Strike: Global Offensive

    Options

    On the Start menu, you can open all game-related settings by clicking on Options. Set the value of “Enable Developer Console” to “Yes” to make it available to open the console in the game.

    The Configuration File

    It is also possible to open the console the old school way via the configuration file. Navigate to the local Steam installation directory (Steam steamapps common Counter-Strike Global Offensive CSGO cfg). In this folder, open the config.cfg file with your preferred text editor. At the beginning of the file, you should see many “bind” directives. Add your own “keybinding”. Example format ‘bind “key” “command”‘ In this case, we bind the console to F9, this would be the line to be inserted: ‘bind “F9” “toggleconsole’ ‘.

    Further down in the configuration file, find the entry ‘con_enable’. This entry value must be set to 1, so: ‘con_enable “1”‘.

    After saving the file, you can open the console with the assigned button in-game.

    About the Steam Launch Parameters

    You can adjust the start parameters of Steam games in their settings. To do this, in your Steam Library, right-click on the game you want, in this case, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, and select “Properties”. “Set Launch Options” is the option you are looking for.
