When the console is opened up, input the following code:

mp_warmup_end

If you are up to editing your autoexec.cfg and config.cfg files, you may permanently stop future warmups with the following command that you can paste into your files (and save afterward):

mp_warmuptime “0”

If you happen to be an admin on a server, you will need to use the “rcon” (remote console) command:

rcon mp_warmuptime “0”

You can also “time” the warmup end so that it happens when a sufficient amount of players join your server with the following command (x is the number of players set as a threshold):

mp_endwarmup_player_count x

If you are running an offline match with bots, a separate command is necessary to stop the warmup:

mp_do_warmup_offline 0

If you just want to set a specific time for the warmup, use this:

mp_warmuptime 10
