i can't transfer my settings (config files) to another account

[jpfitz]

"Some of your game files have been detected to have no signatures or invalid signatures." The game says i can't access VAC protected servers .
This happens If i try to copy/paste config files from another account to my fiolder \730\local\cfg.
Any solution ?

there is nothing changed on config files of that folder.
All my settings are stored in these files:
cs2_machine_convars.vcfg
cs2_user_convars_0_slot0.vcfg
cs2_user_keys_0_slot0.vcfg
cs2_video.txt

so I have to put them in my new folder but I can't. There are too many settings that I don't remember to configure again on the new account.

I'm going crazy, I'm seriously going crazy.
How do they think I can copy hundreds of settings that I don't even remember the name of.
I want to have exactly the same type of values for volume, sounds, video and keyboard settings as my other account.
But how is it possible that Valve is not able to facilitate something like this ? I am shocked.

The correct way to do it is to put all the commands in 1 file, preferably called autoexec.cfg so it loads automatically at start.

At the end of your config add this: host_writeconfig

This command leaves it to the game to add the necessary options in the appropriate config.

I try but I don't know if I can.
Do i need to copy all the settings from these files
cs2_machine_convars.vcfg
cs2_user_convars_0_slot0.vcfg
cs2_user_keys_0_slot0.vcfg
cs2_video.txt
in 1 single file and then add host_writeconfig ?

I tried to do what you said and it didn't work. I also tried running the exec autoexec.cfg command via console. Nothing at all has changed, all settings have remained default.
I wonder how it is possible that a company like Valve forgot to include the possibility of transferring settings from one account to another, it's truly depressing.

Since it was a free to play game, I wanted to try playing it to see if I would like it, so I installed it on a different account than the main one. I finally decided to buy it and then I discover that I can't use the settings I've been playing with so far because it's not possible to transfer them. It's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ weird world. I won't buy this game anymore.

Was ist falsch daran, mehrere Konten zu haben?

why have all the morf posts disappeared ?
I haven't found a solution yet

It seems to me that the command no longer exports all configs into a single file. Instead it exports files separated by category.
Does anyone know how I could merge everything into a traditional .cfg file?

The easiest way for you and OP to copy your settings would probably be to just copy the whole folder but if you don't want to do that then you have to do it manually....

For
cs2_machine_convars.vcfg and
cs2_user_convars_0_slot0.vcfg
you copy all the commands and values between the brackets so you go from this

"config"
{
	"convars"
	{		
		"voice_modenable"		"true"
		"voice_threshold"		"0.000000"
		"volume"		"0.812423"
	}
}

to this

		"voice_modenable"		"true"
		"voice_threshold"		"0.000000"
		"volume"		"0.812423"

and paste it in a new randomname.cfg file in ...\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo\cfg


For the cs2_user_keys_0_slot0.vcfg you do the same as above but use notepad or an online tool like https://pinetools.com/add-text-each-line to add bind at the beginning of each line so it looks like this

bind		"1"		"slot2; slot1"
bind		"2"		"slot2"
bind		"3"		"slot3"
bind		"4"		"slot4"
bind		"5"		"slot5"

add that to your randomname.cfg and in-game just type exec randomname in your console

When it comes to the cs2_video.txt, again, copy-paste or you have to make those changes manually in-game.

Thanks for your suggestions vee.
The simplest method is to open such files with notepad, and copy-past the text to the new files. This ensures that all settings are identical to the previous account.
