CSGO: How to disable "deathcam" from the server level?
This is not a thread for discussing the justification for / against "deathcam".
I am building dedicated servers for CSGO tournament play (in a 100+ seat LAN setting), and require the settings to disable "deathcam".
The present configuration involves CSGO itself (with esl5v5 config), sourcemod, metamod, and warmod.
I have direct access to the OS level (ssh), as I own the servers themselves (no rental server control panel).
Further I have obtained a full dump of available "cvars", none of which appear to do the trick (cvarlist log cvarlist.txt).
While conducting research, I have found several references, none of which work:
- disable in game settings menu
- irrelevant, as this would have to be done for each user, hard to enforce
- "spec_freeze_time -1"
- ineffective, deathcam persists
- "sv_disablefreezecam 1"
- ineffective, deathcam persists
- "mp_fadetoblack 1"
- ineffective, deathcam persists
Please do consider and advise how this might be accomplished?
Thank you for your time.

I suspect that you might be running a casual server by default, and then modifying the cvars on the server so it essentially becomes a heavily modified casual server with competitive settings.
Try using the following commands
game_mode 1;
game_type 0;
This will force the default competitive settings. Follow this with
exec gamemode_competitive.cfg
And then finally restart with mp_restartgame 1, exec <your league script>, and restart again.
