No, you are in the wrong folder. Do not put the autoexec.cfg in Counter-Strike Global Offensive>csgo>cfg. They should put in Counter-Strike Global Offensive>game>csgo>cfg

same problem

I may have a fix, worked for me, after trying 2hours

1. You have to put the cfg in "Counter-Strike Global Offensive>game>csgo>cfg"
2. For example your cfg is named "autoexec.cfg". Do not use the ".cfg"
-> use "autoexec" (autoexec.cfg)
3. check your file if its realy a CFG-File (has to be)

To prove:
1. Open up CS2
2. Open console
3. write in console: "exec autoexec" (or your name of your config and without"")

Extra:
to see prove maybe write in config: echo "Successfully loaded xxx Config" (required "")

I recently encountered this issue.

try doing this.

go to :
"Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo\cfg\autoexec.cfg"

{right-click} > property

look under the general Tab
Type of file:

It must be: `Configuration Source File (.cfg)`


if it is : `Configuration Source File (.txt)`
change its extension.

save the file and then go in game and execute this command

exec autoexec.cfg

i have found the following

go to :
"Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo\cfg\

copy a random .cfg file from this folder to another folder ( for editing )

open this file notepad, >>>>> ensure you deselect "always open this type" <<<<

copy your text into this file and then rename to what you want

Ill use CS2settings.cfg

then just save >>>>> do not use "save as<<<<

then copy this file into:
"Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo\cfg\

--------------

i found that file created in note pad or wordpad wont load, but using a .cfg file from the game already and editing the contents had fixed this issue.

Happy exec'n

i finally fixed it after two hours
