Why Is the Text There, and Should You Remove It?

The text in the bottom left corner provides information about the game's build version and other technical details. It is primarily useful for developers, as it helps identify issues if errors occur during gameplay.

That said, the text does not impact gameplay. If it bothers you, you can safely remove it without any negative effects on your game.

Enabling the Developer Console

Before removing the text, you need to enable the developer console. This is required to input the necessary command. There are two main ways to do this:

Through the Game Settings

1. Open Settings from the main menu (gear icon in the top left corner).

2. Go to the Game tab.

3. Set Enable Developer Console (~) to Yes.

Through Launch Options in Steam

1. Open Steam and find Counter-Strike 2 in your library.

2. Right-click on the game and select Properties.

3. In the General section, locate the Launch Options field.

Enter the following command: -console or -dev

4. You can enter multiple commands separated by spaces.

By default, you can open the console by pressing the ~ (tilde) key, which is located above the Tab key on your keyboard.

Removing the Text

Once the console is enabled, follow these steps to remove the text:

• If the text doesn’t bother you, it’s better to leave it enabled, as it provides valuable information for diagnosing potential issues.
