On SLASHPLAY

On SLASHPLAY the console accepts values from 0.05 to 10; outside that the server would stop answering or stall.

What it does

1 is normal speed, 0.5 is half speed and 2 is double speed. Useful for watching grenade flights in slow motion. Requires sv_cheats 1.

The game's own description: Prescale the clock by this amount.

Run it on your server

On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab of the server page; the reply shows right under it. A value set there lasts until the server restarts. To keep it, add the line to game/csgo/cfg/server.cfg. New to this? Start a CS2 server first.
