How to Set or Change Your Counter-Strike 2 Server Name

Your server name is the primary way players identify your server in the Counter-Strike 2 community server list on Steam. A custom server name makes it easier for players to find or recognize your server while browsing.

In the Nodecraft Pro Panel, you can set or change your server name in two ways:

  1. Using the Game Settings tab.

  2. Editing the server.cfg file in the Server Files section.

Follow the steps below to configure your server name using either method.

Change Server Name via Game Settings

The Game Settings tab allows you to easily update your server name, set a password, choose the starting map, configure the server region, and more.

  1. Open your CS2 Server in the Nodecraft Dashboard.

  2. Navigate to the Counter-Strike 2 Game Settings tab.

  3. Locate the Basic Settings tab.

Troubleshooting Tips

Changes Didn’t Save

  • Ensure you made changes while the server was offline.

  • Double-check that the server name is enclosed in quotes (" ").

Confirming Updates
