import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';

Loading a Single Workshop Map [#loading-a-single-workshop-map]

Add to startup parameters:

```
+host_workshop_map 3070288532
```

Replace with the Workshop map's ID (from its Steam Workshop URL).

Loading a Workshop Collection [#loading-a-workshop-collection]

```
+host_workshop_collection 125499818
```

This loads all maps in the collection as the server's map rotation.

In-Game Commands (RCON) [#in-game-commands-rcon]

| Command                             | Description                               |
| ----------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| `host_workshop_map <ID>`            | Download and load a specific workshop map |
| `host_workshop_collection <ID>`     | Load a collection as map group            |
| `ds_workshop_listmaps`              | List available workshop maps on server    |
| `ds_workshop_changelevel <mapname>` | Switch to a workshop map                  |

Finding Workshop IDs [#finding-workshop-ids]

Go to the map's Steam Workshop page. The ID is in the URL:

```
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3070288532
```

The ID is `3070288532`.

Workshop Maps Not Loading? [#workshop-maps-not-loading]

Delete the cached workshop folder and restart to force re-download:

```
/game/bin/linuxsteamrt64/steamapps/workshop/
```

> 📝 **Note:** CS2 only supports Workshop for custom maps. The old FastDL system is no longer supported.
