Put "host_writeconfig" at the very end of your autoexec.

And don't put "exec autoexec" in your launch options. You don't need that.

Im getting my info from here. I've no idea how reliable it is, but worked for
me when I was having problems.

http://csgohelp.com/autoexec-qa/

Q: The commands I put in my autoexec seem to not work …
A: There are many possible reasons. Here are the most common ones:
There has been a problem in CS:GO since the release, that the configs are loaded in a wrong order. The easiest way to avoid that problem, is adding host_writeconfig as the last line in your autoexec and making sure, that your config isn’t set to read-only. The command overwrites any cvars in the config.cfg with the ones in the autoexec.cfg when the autoexec is executed. Do not set a +exec autoexec.cfg launch option, the autoexec is loaded anyway. Right now, this seems to be the only method to make your autoexec definitely work and execute all commands properly.

I got an awful one. 40 rifle kill in casual match making. It was usually me, 1 complete noob and 8 bots. Bots dont count. So I had race to the guy just so I had a chance to get him before the bots did. I filled up after a while but still took 3 hours or so.

So I thought that because I sometimes scrubbed people in my Silver lobbies that I was actually half-way decent if not pretty good... but as luck would have it playing some goonman has quickly made me realize that I'm actually not. That in reality, I'm just a newborn tadpole swimming into a sea of hardened, jaded, serving triple life sentences in a max-security aquarium before breaking lose by strangling the attendees through a coordinated push through long, sharks.

It's thrilling to sometimesbutnotoften kill one, and some of them on my team gave me some good advice too soothe my suffering... but yeah, long story short I had good fun (seriously not having a team as dumb as me was super enlightening) and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn't played goonman yet.

...and maybe one day I'll become one of those sharks. :unsmigghh:

It's such a weird mistake. It looks like they forgot to change RM and and had a bizarre typo on IM. Theres no way they meant to release either of those figures, realised it was OP, came up with new figures in a day and patched. Maybe a build or deployment problem ,it wouldn't have got through QA.

Is 1.6 the same as source? It would explain my only 1.6 game since I picked up GO. I was able to W around the map owning everyone just pointing the deagle in their general direction. Also it was a DM server full of players who ran around corners waving grenades at you, that probably helped.

I hope this isn't one of those "gently caress me, not this again" subjects, but I want to talk about static crosshairs. I've just started using one after 400 hours with a dynamic. Its better for almost everything, tapping, spraying, placement. But I'm struggling with the recoil reset when bursting 4 or 5 shots. How do you know when your recoil is reset after a burst? Are you watching the gun model in the corner of your eye and waiting till it goes back to neutral?


Edit: \/\/ bollox, I was afraid that was going to be the answer. Different for each gun, yeah? Super.

Enjoy it while it lasts. In just a few more matches you'll be having your face rubbed in the dirt.

Not really, unless the MM overshots a bit and places you a bit too high. That will sort itself out by a couple of defeats and you'll be placed with people very close to your skill level. If you solo queue, as opposed to premades with a wide range of ranks, you'll get a lot of very close matches. The elo system does its job remarkably well. Thats why all the pussies get ladder anxiety and start smurfing :smugdog:

Really enjoying playing Insertion. It's the perfect map for aggressive AWPing, I've found. Especially if you're on defense; normally you can get around CT spawns if you're quick, and pick people off as they're moving past you.

Even better if only 1 or 2 spawn on the hill you've chosen.

I guess you're one of those invisible bastards who gently caress me up on that map.

What do you do when you're running and strafing and want to stop to shoot? Do you tap S and the opposite strafe, or just crouch or what? I can't get used to S + opposite strafe and always shoot before I fully stop.

BRAWWWWW is right. You need to time it out correctly so you stop, shoot, then quickly stutterstep again. That is it has always been done. Crouch is a viable option but it's not as good as the former since you're a stationary target.

Fair enough. So you don't hit back+opposite straf, you just release the movement keys, wait to stop and shoot?

Apogee15 posted:

You will stop faster if you hit the opposing movement key. Try to only use A and D, don't move forward and backwards when trying to stutterstep. Only do it side to side.


Really it's more about timing your shots as you change which direction you are moving than about moving correctly. At least, that's what I mess up on the most.

When I'm in a fight I never use the WS, I'm relatively OK at stutter stepping when Im already just strafing. I'm wondering what to do when for example you're rushing to rotate and a lurker pops into view. When I'm the lurker they always seem to crouch to stop and shoot instantly. I thought, from listening to other players, crouching was a very bad habit to get into so I almost never crouch, but I keep losing these "surprise" encounters.

So when Im the rusher (WA pressed) I have my cross hair where I expect the dude to be, and boom he's there moving into my view with his head right in my cross hair. So I begin to stop, don't shoot, keep tracking his head and then shoot. But by the time all that happens he's crouch/spraying me in the face.

I really think theres something Im not getting here.

And apologies to BRAWW for implying, in my subtle way, that he may be a oval office.

So it can definitely be useful to crouch, but it's very risky and makes you an easy target.

Thats why I try to avoid it so much, in normal circumstances I love when people crouch, they're nothing but a stationary head. I think I'll try practicing a quick crouch/head shot attempt and then strafe/stop/shoot/strafe/stop/shoot. Just when I'm rushing somewhere and bump into someone I mean.

I do run a lot. If someone starts screaming "B B B B B", which can mean anything from "I think I heard a foot step" to "5 with bomb", I just run to B. I should make my way there carefully and only run if Im sure it's safe, thats the real solution to my problem, yeah? gently caress all the the "omg why so slow" comments?
