If you are transitioning from CS:GO to Counter-Strike 2 and you are experiencing the ‘Can’t Move Mouse’ error that prevents you from moving your mouse, there are a few things you can do to fix it.
How to Fix the ‘Can’t Move Mouse’ Error in Counter-Strike 2
When you import your CS:GO config file into CS2, you’ll notice that your crosshair and other visual settings have successfully transferred. However, you might find that you can’t move your mouse freely as you used to. This is because the commands for mouse movement in CS2 are different from those in CS:GO.
Fix 1: New Move Left and Right Commands
In CS:GO, the commands for moving left and right were +moveleft and +moveright. In CS2, these commands have changed. While they are more straightforward (+left and +right), they can cause issues when existing cfg files are used.
Here’s how to adapt your config file:
- Delete any lines in your cfg file that feature +moveright and +moveleft.
- Add the following lines to your cfg file:
bind “a” “+left”bind “d” “+right”
This adjustment ensures that you can move left and right in CS2 without any issues.
Fix 2: Adding New Binds
To fully resolve the ‘Can’t move mouse’ error in CS2, you need to add two new binds to your cfg file:
- Mouse X Axis Bind:
bind “MOUSE_X” “yaw”
- Mouse Y Axis Bind:
bind “MOUSE_Y” “pitch”
Make sure to save these changes to your cfg file and execute it in the game. This should resolve the mouse movement problem in CS2.
By following the steps above, you should be able to fix the ‘can’t move mouse’ error in CS2 and start playing the game normally.
