Can't play counter strike 2 anymore :(

Fixed the problem by uninstalling amd radeon profile and installing mesa vulkan drivers instead.

Are you playing it through Lutris?

Official steam support is hilarious, they just replied that I should post my question in here, as if anyone uses these forums lmao.

Imagine the offical professional support of steam it very self can not even bother to give a single ♥♥♥♥ for a mere SECOND to try and help me, let alone ask me if I want a refund at the very least.

Woooweeee

You're not using a supported system (but Fedora). I would do the same if I were them.

Did you try to run Steam in the console to look for error messages? (Unlikely when it crashes, but do take a look.)

wtf happened to my quote btw LOL

I offered to help and you're insulting me [has been deleted now]. And you're surprised you don't get too much help, eh?

Start at protondb[www.protondb.com] if you didn't already. Wide variety of reports.

Edit: Well wait. I don't play CS2 and didn't realize there is a native version.

Try sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=4194304, for example, in Dayz it helped me cope with crashes.

Use steam linux runtime (sniper)?

I was getting vac errors and game crashes at launch using proton, but the sniper runtime fixed it and seems to function better as a whole for my system (for cs2).

Am on kubuntu 24.04lts.

I have found several games to function better with either the runtimes or experimental proton version.

Steam ALSO told me to post bugs to github "official valve developers frequent the github bug page" (something like that) and ask questions here.. sort of annoying as it is about their game and their compat software..

what errors are happening in your console? make sure to open steam via console so you can read them as you need to. there is almost certainly an explanation to be found in your console errors.

The new core in fedora 40 has some trouble with graphics, run fedora 40 with the erlier core and it probably work again. The downside of using a distro that updates to the newer stuff fast. You have to find the right balance of having to wait with the updates or use something like Ubuntu, that is a little behind with the newer stuff but probably are alot more stable.

Yes I know I hate fedora, would go Debian but to lazy to back up everything and switch because I accidentally made my entire life super complicated, long story.

I have barely any clue about commands etc, too risky in case it's a prank or ruins something, wouldn't know how to undo.

Don't trust strangers on the internet (including me), but do trust the distribution makers:

It should be possible to install Debian on another drive/partition, copy /home/you/ over and done it a try. Keep the old installation around for a while.

I can't play the game anymore, I'm on Linux Fedora 40.

The first day I downloaded it I could play all the time the whole day, then the very next day I start my PC again and I can't play anymore, I have tried the vulkan launch option and almost all the compatibility force things, it just freezes at the loading screen and then crashes, at most I got to the main menu for 1 second and then it crashed.

I have verified game files and reinstalled, no luck, what the fridge to do!??!??? HELP PLIZ!

Thanks in advance! :)
