CS: GO config

Config (cfg or config) is the root configuration file of the game, which is located directly in the folder with the game itself. It is a collection of all current game settings in one file that can be copied, deleted, or sent to someone. Game settings affect a lot. The resolution affects the visual characteristics, the speed of movement of models of other players, their size, and your viewing angle. If you are a beginner, try to take three configs of professional players.
