3.) The file “server.cfg” contains the entire server configuration. Once you are done editing click on
“Save”.
Some servers have configuration settings in “gamemode_competitive_server.cfg”. This file is in the same
folder as “server.cfg”.
Be careful of having duplicate settings in “gamemode_competitive_server.cfg” and “server.cfg”. This will
cause configuration conflict and cause unexpected behaviour.
4.) You will need to restart the server or change the map for your new configuration to take effect.
