SwiftlyS2

Installation

This guide will walk you through installing SwiftlyS2 on your Counter-Strike 2 server.

Prerequisites

SwiftlyS2 can be installed with or without MetaMod.
For most users, we recommend using the SwiftlyS2-Loader, as it does not depend on MetaMod updates and is easier to maintain.

Installing SwiftlyS2

  1. Download the latest Swiftly Release for your operating system.
  2. Extract the archive. You will find two directories:
    • /addons/swiftlys2 — the SwiftlyS2 Loader
    • /addons/metamod — the optional MetaMod loader
  3. Copy the /addons directory to your server’s /game/csgo/ folder.

If this is your first time installing SwiftlyS2, make sure to download the release with the -with-runtimes suffix.

The Loader is the simplest and most reliable way to run SwiftlyS2.

  1. Locate your gameinfo.gi file inside /game/csgo/ and open it.
  2. Find the line:
    Game_LowViolence csgo_lv
    and add the following line below it:
    Game csgo/addons/swiftlys2
  3. Save the file and restart your server.
  4. Run the command sw in your server console to verify the installation.

If you previously used MetaMod to load SwiftlyS2, remove the file addons/metamod/swiftlys2.vdf to avoid conflicts.

Alternative Method: Using MetaMod (Optional)

You can also load SwiftlyS2 through MetaMod:Source, but this method may break if MetaMod hasn’t been updated for the latest CS2 version.

  1. Download the latest MetaMod build for your operating system.
  2. Copy the /addons/metamod/ directory to /game/csgo/.
  3. Edit gameinfo.gi and add the line:
    Game csgo/addons/metamod
    below:
    Game_LowViolence csgo_lv
  4. Restart your server and type meta list to verify the installation.

You’re done!
SwiftlyS2 is now installed and ready to enhance your server!
