What it does

This is the max acceptable matchmaking ping setting. Lower values keep you on nearby servers with a better connection but can make queue times longer.

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.
