Visuals โ†’ Round Timer

How to enableโ€‹

  1. Open the menu (Insert by default) โ†’ Visuals โ†’ Round Timer.
  2. The feature is on by default. It is turned on and off with the header toggle of the page.
  3. While the menu is open, a sample card (5 seconds) is shown on screen. Drag it with the mouse to the place you want. More about cards: HUD cards.

What it doesโ€‹

  • After a round ends, it shows the "Next round" card: the header shows the remaining time in the 0:07 format, and during the last 5 seconds with tenths (4.3); below it is a bar that shrinks until the new round starts.
  • The bar is calculated from the standard 7-second break between rounds.
  • There is no card during the round itself: it fades out smoothly as soon as the next round starts and does not linger at zero.
  • The card does not appear until the match has started.
  • Outside a match and while the buy menu is open, only the sample is shown, and only when the menu is open.

FAQโ€‹

The timer is not visible during the round. This is intended: the card shows only the countdown to the next round and appears after the current one ends.

How do I move the timer? Open the menu: a sample card will appear. Drag it with the mouse.
