I have no config.cfg

[iCeCream]

I really dont know what to to after seaching google for 2 hours,

i have no config.cfg, not in my /steamapps/common/.. and not in /userdata/***/Cfg

i tried for days to get my config to load my custom settings (viewmodel, jumpthrow etc..)
but nothing would work.

So i deleted my config.cfg, uninstalled cs:go and deleted all folders.
After reinstalliung cs there is no config.cfg. Only config_default.cfg and config.360.cfg

I really dont know what to do

i hope anyone can help

you mean autoexec.cfg where you put all your console commands?

Try to play a match then go back to the CSGO folder?

I just have to search for cfg or .cfg in my userdata folder to find it.

You can find it in:
C:\Program (x86)\Steam\userdata\(yout steamID)\730\local\cfg

this is default, obviously you may have canged drive and main folder of the STEAM installation.

You can also create "autoexec.cfg" and put it into the:
steamapps\common\Counter-Strike:Global Offensive\csgo\cfg
folder

but remember to use "host_writeconfig" command at the end of it or some commands of the cfg will be not used.

PS: you can remove or comment the "host_writeconfig" command after the first run

i started a bot match but that didnt help , or do i have to play a real match?

[Funz]

just starting the game would create a config if you just deleted it.

give the one you found a try edit someting.

nope, windows 10

your id is "76561197981610297"

so if you open the steam folder you can open USERDATA
then 76561197981610297
then 730
then LOCAL
then CFG
then you should see the config files
:D

i gave it a try and unfortunatly it did nothing,

whats interesting is: the settings in do in the main menu (like hud color and granade binds) are saved and stay after reloading.

i just dont know what config its saved in

i only got one differend number in my /userdate/ folder

and in /userdata/**/730/local/cfg/
is nothing

[Wile]

can you write the number?

[iCeCream]

Originally posted by Wile:

/userdata/21344569/730/local/cfg

completly empty

[Wile]

The number is not a valid Steam ID, is the only folder in USERDATA ?

[Wile]

You can try this:

Start CS:GO
Open CONSOLE
Enter "host_writeconfig" command

This should write the config.cfg file

then search for it in all folders using the search windows features
sort by date
the most recent (if you have more than one) must be the one you need
check the folder
write me the answer (I'm courious now)
