CS2 limitations

Because CS2 has missing console commands or different behaviors compared to CS:GO, some features are not yet available or partially available with CS2.
This page lists the current limitations of CS:DM with CS2.

danger

CS2 is not available on macOS which means features that require the CS2 client will not be visible on macOS!

Demo playback

  • To avoid restarting CSGO each time you want to watch a demo, the application uses the -netconport launch option to communicate with CSGO.
    Unfortunately, this launch option in CS2 works only on Windows when the Workshop tools are installed and the launch parameters -tools is set.
    As a workaround, CS:DM uses a "server plugin" loaded when the game is launched that should be transparent for the user. You can find more information about this plugin here.
  • Watching a player "as a suspect" is not available because the anonsuspect argument of the playdemo command is not yet available in CS2.
  • Watching a specific round from the Player's round performance section in the Downloads page is not available because the startround:number_number argument of the playdemo command is not yet available in CS2.

Analyze

  • The player's property that indicates when a player started/stopped inspecting his weapon doesn't update in CS2 demos. As a result, these stats are not available.
