Hey @reginald_chan,

I saw your post and wanted to help troubleshoot your CS:GO config file issue in AMP on Debian 11. Since this was reported in April 2022, upgrading AMP to the latest version should be the first step before troubleshooting further. If newer versions have addressed blank config file issues, upgrading may resolve the problem.

Steps to Try After Upgrading:

  1. Check AMP Logs for Errors – Look at AMP/logs to see if there are any errors related to file access or permissions.
  2. Verify File Permissions – Ensure AMP has the correct permissions to read and write config files:
    sudo chown -R amp:amp /path/to/csgo/configs  
sudo chmod -R 755 /path/to/csgo/configs
  3. Test Editing Files Outside AMP – If AMP’s GUI isn’t displaying config files correctly, try manually editing them via SFTP or SSH.
  4. Check for Known Issues – Some users have reported similar problems with AMP’s file editor. You can find discussions here and here.
  5. Reset Instance to Default Files – If the issue persists, consider resetting the CS:GO instance to default settings, as discussed here.

A Few Questions to Help Troubleshoot:

  • Does AMP’s log show any errors when trying to edit config files?
  • Have you tried manually editing the files via SFTP or SSH?
  • Are the config files blank when viewed outside AMP, or only within the GUI?

Let me know if any of these steps help or if you can provide more details—I’d be happy to troubleshoot further! :rocket:
