Option #2: Creating an Counter-Strike 2 Server From Your Home Computer or Dedicated Server

Server Requirements

Windows 7, 8, 8.1, Server 2016, Server 2019 & 64-Bit

Quad Core processor (requires up to 2 full cores)

Up to 19GB memory (currently usage depends on the FPS)

50GB disk space (install folder)

Step 1: Fetching Game Server files

The best method to get dedicated server game files is via the dedicated server depot on Steam via SteamCMD.

  1. Create a folder where you wish to store your Counter-Strike 2 game server hosting files
  2. Inside of the folder, place the newly downloading SteamCMD.exe file
  3. Create a batch file named Counter-Strike_2_Install.bat
  4. Place the following code in this batch file:
@echo off
start "" C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\Counter-Strike 2\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe +login YOUR_STEAM_ACCOUNT YOUR_PASSWORD +force_install_dir C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\Counter-Strike-2 +app_update 730 +quit
  1. Right-click Counter-Strike_2_Install.bat and Run as Administrator
  2. Your game server files should be completely downloaded by now

Step 2: Setting up an Counter-Strike 2 Dedicated Server

  1. Create a batch file named StarServer.bat in your newly created Counter-Strike 2 server folder from step 1
  2. Place the following code in this batch file:
cd C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\Counter-Strike-2\
start /wait /REALTIME cs2.exe -dedicated -usercon +game_type 0 +game_mode 1 +map de_inferno
  1. A console window should now pop up.
  2. If you have a config in the CS2 cfg location, execute it in the dedicated console on your desktop
    exec CONFIG_NAME

Step 3: Port Forwarding

Add an incoming rule to your Windows Firewall to allow TCP/UDP port (game port) 27015, (Steam query port) 27016(or whichever ports you decide to use)

You may additionally need to add a forwarding rule to your network router. You can use PortForward.com to read how to do this.
