Setup Guide

Getting Started

Install CS:GO, add GRMod, and launch with the right files in place.

Time 10 Minutes
Needs CS:GO + GRMod
Best For First-Time Setup

Getting started is a lot easier now than it used to be. This guide covers the shortest path from a fresh install to a playable setup.

Requirements

  • Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
  • GRMod

1. Install Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

First, download CS:GO from the Steam store page:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4465480/CounterStrikeGlobal_Offensive/

2. Download GRMod

After that, download the latest GRMod release:

https://github.com/Skysion3/GRMod/releases

Use the latest release. The releases page includes a Full ZIP for new installs and a Patch ZIP if you are updating an existing GRMod install.

3. Install GRMod

Open your CS:GO install folder, then extract the downloaded GRMod archive directly into that directory.

  • Use GRMod_*_Full.zip if this is your first install.
  • Use GRMod_*_Patch.zip only if you are upgrading an existing GRMod setup.
  • Replace existing files when Windows asks.

Default Windows path:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\csgo legacy

GRMod bundles the Game Coordinator replacement and its UI changes together, so you do not need a separate csgo_gc download first.

4. Done!

That is the whole setup.

If something goes wrong, make sure you launch the game through Steam instead of opening it directly from the folder.
