Thanks, very valuable feedback.

I do not know the exact answer of how long it takes to get into the `game` loop and it is depending on your system also. To know for sure, you can type

  status

into the CS2 ingame console. If it shows this, you know you are ready to go:

  [EngineServiceManager] @ Current  :  game

I've put the solution to tl;dr now. Thanks!
