Q: How can I activate launch options for CS2 on Steam?

A: Right-click on Counter-Strike 2 in your Steam library, navigate to Properties, and find the Launch Options box. Here, you can type in the desired launch options to enhance FPS and overall performance.

Q: Which launch options are recommended for improving CS2’s performance?

A: Consider using options such as -console to enable the developer's console, -high to prioritize CS2, +fps_max 0 to uncap framerate, -nojoy to disable joystick input, -novid to skip the intro video, and -softparticlesdefaultoff to turn off soft particles. Additionally, +violence_hblood 0 will disable blood and gore effects if preferred.

Q: Are there any launch options that are deemed unnecessary or non-functional?

A: At present, the -fullscreen command is deemed unnecessary as fullscreen can be enabled through in-game settings. Additionally, the -freq and -tickrate commands appear to be non-functional, though further testing on -tickrate is needed.
