Turn on the Mod Loader (Metamod + CounterStrikeSharp) in the expanded Overview card, then drop each plugin's folder into install/counter-strike-2/game/csgo/addons/counterstrikesharp/plugins/ with the Files card or SFTP and restart. Your plugin files and your edits to their configs are safe: they survive restarts and server moves.
Turn on the loader first
CounterStrikeSharp plugins need the loader running. In your server's expanded Overview card, set Mod Loader to the Metamod + CounterStrikeSharp option and press Save changes. We install and update the loader for you from then on; its own files are managed by us and read-only.
Install a plugin
Get the plugin's folder
CS2 plugins ship as a folder (usually named after the plugin) containing a .dll and often a lang/ folder. Unzip the download on your computer first if it came as a zip.
Upload it
In the Files card, browse to install > counter-strike-2 > game > csgo > addons > counterstrikesharp > plugins and upload the whole folder. Over SFTP that is /install/counter-strike-2/game/csgo/addons/counterstrikesharp/plugins/.
Restart
Restart the server. CounterStrikeSharp loads plugins at startup.
Editing plugin configs
Plugins write their settings under .../counterstrikesharp/configs/plugins/<PluginName>/ the first time they run. Edit those files freely in the Files card: your changes win and stay put across restarts. (Before August 27, 2026 these were reset on every restart; that is fixed, so if you gave up on a config once, it works now.)
Things that will NOT work
Dropping a bare
.dllstraight intoplugins/. CounterStrikeSharp expects one folder per plugin.Editing anything under
counterstrikesharp/bin,api, ordotnet. Those are the loader's own files; we refresh them on updates and they are read-only.
Need help?
Ask on Discord or email support@haptic.gg with the plugin name and your server's startup log if it did not load.
Server config lives at
install/counter-strike-2/game/csgo/cfg/haptic-<first 8 of your server id>.cfg; the Files card's quick-access chip jumps straight to it.
