How to Restart Game CS:GO and Get Back into the Action

If you’re playing CS:GO, you know how frustrating it can be to have a match interrupted by technical difficulties. Whether it’s a server connection issue or your game freezes up, restarting can seem like a daunting task. But fear not! In this blog post, we’ll show you how to restart the game, the match, or even just a round, so you can get back to what really matters – getting that win!

How to Restart the Game CS:GO

Option 1: Restart the Game via Task Manager

First things first, let’s walk through the basic steps to restarting the game. If your game has completely frozen and you can’t exit out normally, you can use the Task Manager to force close the game.

  1. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete on your keyboard.
  2. Select Task Manager from the options.
  3. Click on the Processes tab at the top.
  4. Look for the csgo.exe process and click on it.
  5. Press the End Task button at the bottom right corner.

Tip: You can also access the Task Manager by right-clicking on the Windows Taskbar and choosing Task Manager.

Option 2: Restart the Game via Console Commands

If you prefer using console commands, you can restart the game using a simple command.

  1. Press the ~ key to open the console.
  2. Type “restart” and hit Enter.
  3. The game will automatically exit and restart.

Bonus tip: If you want to restart the match, use the command “mp_restartgame 1” instead.

How to Restart a CS:GO Match or Round

Option 1: Restart the Match Using Console Commands

If you need to restart the whole match, you can use console commands as well.

  1. Open the console by pressing the ~ key.
  2. Type “mp_restartgame 1” and hit Enter.
  3. The match will restart from the beginning.

Option 2: Use the Vote System

Another way to restart a match or round is by using the Vote System. This option is only available if the server provider has enabled the feature.

  1. Hold down the “Tab” key to show the current scoreboard.
  2. Use the arrow keys to highlight the player you want to kick or restart the game (if available).
  3. Press the corresponding key to initiate the vote (F1 to restart the game).
  4. Wait for the other players to cast their votes.

Tip: The vote system requires a majority to pass. You can also start a vote by typing “callvote restart” in the console.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if the server has enabled the vote system?

You can check the server settings by typing “sv_vote” or “sv_vote_enabled” in the console. If the value is set to 1, then the vote system is enabled.

Can I restart a round without restarting the whole match?

Yes, you can use the command “mp_round_restart_delay 0” to restart the current round.

What happens to my stats if I restart the game or the match?

If you restart the game, all progress made in the previous session will be lost. However, if you restart the match, your scores and stats will be reset for the current match only.

In Conclusion

Restarting CS:GO can be frustrating, but it doesn’t have to be. Use the tips and tricks outlined in this blog post to get back into the action quickly and easily. Remember to double-check your server settings to ensure that you have permission to use the vote system, and don’t forget to save your progress regularly if you’re not playing on a server.
