CS2Fixes is a free Metamod:Source plugin by the Source2ZE team with fixes and features aimed mainly, but not only, at zombie escape servers. To install it on a FREAKHOSTING CS2 server, install Metamod:Source on the Frameworks page, extract the CS2Fixes release for Linux into game/csgo/ and restart. Many of its features are off until you turn them on in its config.

Do I need CS2Fixes?

CS2Fixes is not a general “make my server stable” plugin. Its project page describes it as a plugin with fixes and features “aimed but not limited to zombie escape”. Install it if you run a zombie escape or similar community server and want features it documents in its wiki. For a normal competitive, casual or retakes server you usually don’t need it. If your server is unstable, check these first:
The correct project is Source2ZE/CS2Fixes on GitHub. Older guides link to other repositories that are not CS2Fixes.

How to install CS2Fixes

1

Make a backup

Create a backup so you can go back if something goes wrong.
2

Install Metamod:Source

Open Frameworks under COUNTER-STRIKE 2 and click Install Metamod:Source. If you already installed CounterStrikeSharp, Metamod:Source is already there. The panel also adds the line Metamod needs to gameinfo.gi, so you don’t edit it yourself.

3

Download CS2Fixes

From the CS2Fixes releases, download the latest package for Linux. Our servers run on Linux.
4

Upload and extract

Click Files, open game/csgo/, upload the package, click … next to it and choose Unarchive. Its folders merge with yours.
5

Restart and check

Restart the server and type meta list in the Console. CS2Fixes should be in the list. Metamod plugins don’t appear on the Plugins page.

How to configure CS2Fixes

CS2Fixes is set with cvars in its config file, which the project’s README names as addons/cs2fixes/cfg/cs2fixes.cfg. Open it with Files, turn on the features you want, save and restart. To give CS2Fixes its own admins, rename admins.jsonc.example to admins.jsonc in addons/cs2fixes/configs/ and follow the instructions inside. These admins are separate from CounterStrikeSharp’s admins.json. Each feature and cvar is explained in the CS2Fixes wiki.

Frequently asked questions

Does CS2Fixes need CounterStrikeSharp?

No. CS2Fixes is a Metamod:Source plugin. It needs only Metamod:Source. You can still run CounterStrikeSharp plugins next to it.

Do I edit gameinfo.gi for CS2Fixes?

No. CS2Fixes loads through Metamod:Source. The panel adds Metamod’s line to gameinfo.gi when you install it, and Repair gameinfo.gi puts it back after a CS2 update.

Why doesn’t CS2Fixes load?

Type meta list. If Metamod itself doesn’t answer, repair gameinfo.gi on the Frameworks page and restart. If Metamod works but CS2Fixes is missing, check that you used the Linux package and extracted it in game/csgo/.

Will CS2Fixes fix lag or crashes?

Not in general. It fixes specific problems that its wiki lists. For lag, check CPU on the Statistics page and reduce bots and plugins.
