Installation
This guide will walk you through installing SwiftlyS2 on your Counter-Strike 2 server.
Prerequisites
- Latest Swiftly Release (includes both Loader and MetaMod version)
- MetaMod Source 2.X (Optional)
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
- Download the latest Swiftly Release for your operating system.
- Extract the archive. You will find two directories:
/addons/swiftlys2— the SwiftlyS2 Loader/addons/metamod— the optional MetaMod loader
- Copy the
/addonsdirectory 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.
Recommended Method: SwiftlyS2-Loader
The Loader is the simplest and most reliable way to run SwiftlyS2.
- Locate your
gameinfo.gifile inside/game/csgo/and open it. - Find the line:
and add the following line below it:Game_LowViolence csgo_lvGame csgo/addons/swiftlys2 - Save the file and restart your server.
- Run the command
swin 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.
- Download the latest MetaMod build for your operating system.
- Copy the
/addons/metamod/directory to/game/csgo/. - Edit
