Where are demos and screenshots located in CS 1.6?

Default:

Counter-Strike 1.6\

└── cstrike\

This folder contains:

📁 Demo (*.dem)

📷 Screenshots (*.bmp, .tga, sometimes .jpg)

If you can't find the game folder

Find the Counter-Strike 1.6 shortcut.

Right-click on it.

Select "File Location" or "Open File Location."

Open the cstrike folder.

Helpful tip:

Before submitting, we recommend:

Make sure you've uploaded the exact files requested by the administration;

Don't rename the demo before review (unless requested);

If necessary, pack several files into a .zip archive to upload them as a single file.

This method works for almost all Counter-Strike 1.6 builds and only takes a couple of minutes.
