How to show the Net Graph in CS2

The Net Graph is back in CS2 and you might be wondering how to show it or make it appear in the game. This is a feature that has been available since the days of CSGO, but it received an update once the sequel came out.

Its main purpose it's still the same, providing information about the connection to the server. If you don't know how to activate it, we have a pretty straightforward guide for you.

How to show the Net Graph in CS2?

Just like in the first game, you can't activate this feature from a settings menu. Instead, you'll need to input a special command in the console available in-game. Here are the steps:

  • Once you're in the game, press "~" to open the console.
  • You'll see a textbox appear on your screen. Type the following command "cq_netgraph 1" and hit enter.

As you can see, the command is essentially the same as it was in CSGO, so veteran players of the franchise won't have any trouble accessing this feature. One key difference of this new Net Graph is that it doesn't show the FPS, with the telemetry now being displayed with a different command. If you want to see your FPS performance, here is a guide for it.

Keep in mind that you'll have to activate the console for this method to work and we'll tell you how in the next section.

How to enable the console?

The in-game console is deactivated by default and if you plan on using it, you'll have to do the following first:

  • Go to "Settings"
  • Select "Game Settings"
  • Look for the option that says "Enable Developer Console" and select "Yes"

After you've done that, you can use the key mentioned above to display the console's textbox and input any command you want.
