Hide CS2 Build Info – Step-by-Step Guide

Since the release of CS2, the build information for the current version has been displayed in the lower-left corner of the screen. This information is irrelevant to almost all CS2 players, so it can be hidden with a simple console command.

Step-by-step instructions:

  1. Open Settings (the gear icon in the upper-left corner of the game)
  2. Enable the Developer Console (“Game” > “Enable Developer Console (~)” > “YES”)
  3. Set up the developer console (“Keyboard/Mouse” -> “Open Console” -> assign any key)
  4. Open the console (press the designated key)
  5. Command r_show_build_info false Type it in and press Enter
  6. Finished
Switch off CS2 build info with command - r_show_build_info false

You can easily re-enable build info using the same command; you just need to replace “false” with “true.” So, to enable build info: r_show_build_info true

What does the display at the bottom left in CS2 mean?

The new display (bottom left) in CS2 shows the date when the version being played was built. This means the date on which this CS2 version was completed so that it can be played on the live servers.

Why is the build info important?

Build info is important to Valve when bugs are reported. Using submitted screenshots of bugs along with the build info, Valve can determine exactly which version has the bug and whether it has already been fixed in newer versions or is still present.
