How to End Warmup in CS:GO - Quick Command Guide
To end warmup in CS:GO, there are several methods depending on your situation. I'll explain the most reliable ways to do this quickly.
If you're playing on your own private server, simply type "mp_warmup_end" in the console. This command instantly ends the warmup period and starts the competitive match.
For those who don't have console access or are playing on community servers, here are alternative methods:
- Vote to end warmup by typing "!warmup" in chat (works on servers with this plugin)
- Wait for the default warmup timer to expire (usually 5 minutes)
- Use admin commands if you have the necessary permissions
To enable console access for using commands:
- Open game settings
- Go to "Game Settings"
- Enable "Developer Console"
- Press the ~ key (usually located under ESC)
Keep in mind that on official Valve servers, you cannot manually end the warmup period. You'll need to wait for all players to connect and for the timer to expire naturally.
Quick Tip: If you're practicing alone, you can also use "sv_cheats 1" followed by "mp_warmup_end" for instant results, but this only works on private servers with cheats enabled.
Remember that ending warmup prematurely on community servers might require specific plugins or admin privileges. If you're unsure, check with the server administrators about available commands.
