← Small tweaks like servername, other settings and the mapcycle If the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive process is running then first kill it. When the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive process isn't running then proceed to step 4. 1. SSH to the server 2. screen -r 3. quit 4. CTRL + c 5. cd ~/csgo/csgo/cfg/ 6. wget https://zeus.geforce.nl/~mb/files/games/csgo/server.cfg - Don't forget to edit the newly downloaded server.cfg to your own needs and settings 7. chmod 775 server.cfg 8. mv mapcycle.txt mapcycle.bak 9. wget https://zeus.geforce.nl/~mb/files/games/csgo/mapcycle.txt - Ofcourse you can edit the newly downloaded mapcycle.txt to your own favourite maps 10. chmod 775 mapcycle.txt 11. cd ~/csgo/ 12. ./srcds_run -game csgo +net_public_adr 192.168.0.1 +ip 127.0.1.1 -console -usercon -net_port_try 1 -tickrate 128 -nobots +game_type 0 +game_mode 1 +mapgroup mg_active +map de_dust2 -maxplayers_override 24 +sv_setsteamaccount XXXX (replace XXXX with your own GSLT) 13. After a few seconds and some stuff in your console you should see the following: Connection to Steam servers successful. VAC secure mode is activated. 14. The server is running, you can check this bij typing 'status', you should see the following: hostname: My Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Server (or whatever you named it in server.cfg) version : 1.38.7.9/13879 1569/8853 secure [G:1:9438415] udp/ip : 127.0.1.1:27015 (public ip: 192.168.0.1) os : Linux type : community dedicated map : de_dust2 players : 0 humans, 0 bots (24/0 max) (not hibernating) # userid name uniqueid connected ping loss state rate adr #end 15. CTRL a + d (detached) 16. Done! You now have a fully functional and customized Counter-Strike: Global Offensive server running without mods/scripts. → Install 1000 HZ kernel and achieve a 1000 FPS server Back in the days you had to manually compile a kernel and set it to 1000 Hz, nowadays it's a lot easier to get this done. I don't think this works on VPS, cause those CPU's are virtual & shared. So this probably only works on dedicated servers. Before with normal kernel: 1. grep 'CONFIG_HZ=' /boot/config-$(uname -r) CONFIG_HZ=250 2. sudo apt update 3. sudo apt -y install linux-lowlatency 4. sudo reboot Afterwards with low latency kernel: 5. grep 'CONFIG_HZ=' /boot/config-$(uname -r) CONFIG_HZ=1000 And check in-game in your (rcon) console as well to see the result: stats CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 9.00 0.00 0.00 949 1 900.05 0 To remove the low latency kernel and go back to the normal kernel use the following: 6. sudo apt-get -y autoremove --purge linux-lowlatency
