How to fix screen shake in CS2?
Players try to get rid of screen shake in CS2 for several reasons: Comfort and focus. Heavy weapon and camera sway is distracting and makes it harder to concentrate on aiming and tracking enemies. Competitive advantage. The more stable the picture, the easier it is to control your shooting and react faster. Even a little shake can throw off your aim. Motion sensitivity. Extra visual effects make some players uncomfortable or even give them a headache, so they try to keep such effects to a minimum.
