Adding a CS2 Config
To add a CS2 config, locate your trade URL in Steam and find the matching folder in your Steam files. Then, replace your current config with the new one in the “cfg” folder. This process may seem confusing, but it’s pretty easy when broken down. For a clear setup, follow the steps below to make sure you add the CS2 config correctly:
- Step 1: Open Steam, hover over your Steam ID, and click “Profile“.
- Step 2: Select “Inventory“.
- Step 3: Click on “Trade Offers“.
- Step 4: Choose “Who can send me Trade Offers?“.
- Step 5: Copy the stream of numbers from your Trade URL (e.g., 23599).
- Step 6: Go to “Program Files (x86).”
- Step 7: Go to “Steam“.
- Step 8: Go to “userdata“.
- Step 9: Inside “userdata”, open the folder with the matching numbers from your Trade URL.
- Step 10: Open the “730” folder.
- Step 11: Go to “local“.
- Step 12: Inside “local,” find the “cfg” folder, which contains your CS2 config.
- Step 13: To add a new config, copy a “cfg” folder from another source, paste it into “local,” and replace the existing “cfg” folder.
