Viewmodel not launching

[Lynked]

Got a new viewmodel recently and as i always do when i get new settings for CS:GO i put it in my config and autoexec files, however my viewmodel seems to reset everything i start CS:GO. So everytime i start CS:GO i have to add the viewmodel through console. Anyone know how to possibly fix this?

Viewmodel is: viewmodel_fov 90
viewmodel_offset_x 22
viewmodel_offset_y 33
viewmodel_offset_z -22
cl_bob_lower_amt 15

And yes i have -exec autoexec in launch parameters.

Those command values go over the limits. You can't have viewmodel_fov being over 68, viewmodel_offset_x can't be over 2.5 etc.

You can, they work when you put them in console.

You can put them in the console but since those values go over the limits then the game automatically lowers them to the highest possible value i.e 68 for viewmodel_fov etc

So it's something "wrong" with the game then?

As previously mentioned, those values are too high and those settings do not save. They are reset back to the same amount everytime you launch the game.

Placing them in an autoexec.cfg doesn't help either, unless you type exec autoexec.cfg into console once you are ingme.

Wouldn't "host_writeconfig" overwrite the config file?

No not really, Valve decieded to have upper and lower limits to these commands.

It can save if you change viewmodel_presetpost to a different value. Set it to 4, or 0, or whatever else that isn't 1-3. You'll get a message saying that's not one of the default values, but it should stick.

I think I figured out why your settings don't save.

It has to do with the viewmodel_presetpos command.

Mine is set at viewmodel_presetpos 3, so whenever the game is launched that setting reverts any custom settings.

We need Valve to fix it so it can be disabled so we can save custom settings.

It is indeed related to that command. set it to "0" to get an "invalid" value which won't load default viewmodel settings and will give you your custom viewmodel instead

Heard somewhere that setting it to "0" doesn't work

I already had mine set to "0", still won't launch my viewmodel. Any ideas?

put the command into autoexec, it should work. maybe try putting the command before the viewmodel_offset commands, and try execing your autoexec ingame once

Does nothing at all. But i did find this in console: exec: couldn't exec config.cfg

config.cfg? put all your commands you need into the "autoexec.cfg" file. create one if you don't have it

I have my commands set in both my cfg and autoexec.
