Check gameinfo.gi When Metamod Stops Loading in CS2

Valve continues to release Counter-Strike 2 updates; for example, its official site records an update dated November 14, 2025.

For Source 2, AlliedModders documents editing gameinfo.gi as the supported Metamod loading method. The edit must be repeated whenever a game update modifies that file.

Restore the Metamod entry

1. Open game/csgo/gameinfo.gi.
2. Find the SearchPaths section.
3. Make this the first Game entry in that section:

Code: Select all

Game csgo/addons/metamod

1. Restart the server.
2. Run this command in the server console:

Code: Select all

meta version

A successful installation reports a Metamod:Source 2.x version. CounterStrikeSharp's documentation also recommends meta list to confirm that Metamod and its loaded plugins are visible.

If the command is unknown

CounterStrikeSharp's troubleshooting documentation says that an Unknown Command response to meta list is a reason to verify that the addon folders were copied correctly and that gameinfo.gi was modified correctly.

If the entry is correct but Metamod still fails

AlliedModders warns that game changes can sometimes break Metamod:Source between releases. In that situation, its installation documentation says a snapshot build may be required. CounterStrikeSharp depends on Metamod:Source to communicate with the CS2 server, so Metamod must load before CounterStrikeSharp can operate through it.
