How To Hide Date/Time Build Info in CS2

First up, the build info we are talking about is in the bottom-left corner of your screen. This info is basically the date/time when the latest Counter-Strike 2 update was released. While it is far away from any heads you might want to click, some players find this annoying and want a completely clear screen.

• Launch Counter-Strike 2 via Steam.
• Open the dev console using the tilde key "~" on your keyboard. It is generally located on the left side of your keyboard next to the "1" key.
• Type in "r_show_build_info false"
• Press Enter.

Congratulations, you've hidden the build info in CS2! To revert back and show it again, follow the same steps above but use the command line "r_show_build_info true". It is as simple as that!
