Instructions
Step 1
Download and install the patch for the CS game, version 29 or higher on the operating system. You can find it on the website www.counterstrike.ru. It is recommended that you scan the downloaded files with an antivirus program to prevent malware from infecting your computer. As a rule, such files are automatically registered in the registry and startup of a personal computer and overload the system, "steal" various data from the computer.
Step 2
Download and install the server application for Counter-Strike. This application is specifically designed to create a virtual server on your home computer. Ready-made servers for Counter-Strike are available on the Internet, so you can see examples on the official sites without any problems.
Step 3
Start the Counter-Strike virtual server in console mode. Console mode does not use system resources, they are required to run the game itself. To start the server in console mode, you need the hlds.bat file. Create it and place it in the main game folder. Check all folders with antivirus software so that no virus codes get to the server, as users' data often disappear from the servers.
Step 4
Edit the server.cfg file. Instructions for filling out this file can be found on the thematic forums. Set yourself as an administrator so that you can create a game and invite others to participate. Download add-ons for Counter-Strike if needed.
Step 5
Share your external IP address with other players and start playing. To make your IP address permanent, contact your ISP. Typically, ISPs provide dedicated IP addresses for a monthly subscription.
