Why do you use Proton instead of native run?

[ghost]

I would like to see Proton support all "native" source-based titles some day. The internal DirectX9 to OpenGL leaves a lot to be desired in comparison to D9VK and Gallium Nine.

Hmmm. But wine translates windows API calls to POSIX and it will be more slowly than native run. Wine run: Game -> WinAPI -> POSIX
Native run: Game -> POSIX

Correct me if I'm wrong

[ghost]

@qmmp123 You're technically not wrong, but with the notable additions, such as esync and now fsync, translation of Windows API calls should be fast up to a point where legacy translation layers for DirectX9/11 bottleneck Wine itself. If you can, try to play Garry's Mod, which is one of Source games that work with Proton, using D9VK, the recent addition to Proton 4.11, or Gallium Nine Standalone that is easily installable via Protontricks.

[qmmp123]

@Bryophyllum I have spoken with some game developers. They said version of directx game may have more optimization than OpenGL version. I meant it is problem in game code . Neither DirectX nor OpenGL does not affect on it. Sorry for english.

So I wanted to try the old csgo from 2013 (on steam, right click csgo, properties, beta and the demo viewer). After i installed it, i tried opening it and it gave me an error and when i tried it with Proton the game opened and it was just a black screen. I remember on Windows i had to open it from the steam folder csgo.exe but here you can't do that. I know it's not a big issue, and it's no longer a supported version but i was thinking that maybe someone knows a solution.

Game fails to launch. Creates a black screen and displays an error message box with the following:

Failed to initialize NVAPI with error (0xFFFFFFFE), which is required when running on NVIDIA hardware. Your drivers may be corrupt or out of date.

[aufkrawall]

Game seems to work fine in Proton with D9VK. However, VAC doesn't allow you to play online.

@kisak-valve Is there anything that could be done about? It likely offers much better CPU performance than the OGL port, especially in Danger Zone.

[SimplyCorbett]

Game launches as a black screen and then crashes with NVAPI error. Tried D9VK, no luck.

I'm sitting at 300 FPS @ 4k fullscreen max settings on native. Performs great.

[xDShot]

Game launches with D9VK enabled. Shows this when launched.

[qmmp123]

@kiroma Try to update your drivers or reinstall it

[SimplyCorbett]

@kiroma Try to update your drivers or reinstall it

Should I also reinstall my drivers?? Every other game runs.

[qmmp123]

@tsalwierz I think your client missed some libs. Try to launch steam via console and see logs

[qmmp123]

@shoober420 can you show logs? I wrtote earlier how to do it

I forced the use of specific Steam Play compatibility tool with Steam Linux Runtime as here

And if i run the game it appears that

Also, i tried with all proton versions

And if i run the game with proton, i recieve an blank screen and it exits after like 30 seconds.

I am getting a FATAL ERROR: Failed to connect with local Steam Client process! error with any proton version. I validated / reinstalled the game, but it didn't do the trick.

Any other games works?

[ghost]

Well I tried TF2, and although I get the common "insecure mode" error message when trying to connect to a server, the game at least launches... Outer Wilds works too, but I don't know if that game even checks for the Steam client.

[codeman101]

@tanjilk ya I get the same error when I try to run the game via proton after I discovered that the native linux version also broke. The latest update really did a number on the game.

Are you talking about the counter strike old version?

@tanjilk No CSGO

[codeman101]

Native version got updated today. Seems fixed now.

It is crashing for me with and without "-vulkan". Can you explain me the steps how to try "sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=1048576"?

just type inside your terminal sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=1048576 and make sure you don't have anything in csgo launch options (at least that's the case for me). It should let you load a map and at least try the game offline.

Note: sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=1048576 is temporary and will be reset after you reboot. You can make it permanent if you paste it inside some .conf file, but I haven't bothered with that

It is loading this time, but crashing after few seconds into the game. Also I've a Nvidia MX350 GPU with 2GB VRAM. Maybe I should wait for the Linux binaries.

yeah, I also forfeited that route. Why tinker when can just wait

[YousefNasri]

Valve you need to fix the Griefing Cooldown system because iam getting those Cooldowns for doing nothing wrong.Iam getting reported for doing nothing wrong and because of that i always get a cooldown for 14 days.Pls fix or remove the Griefing Cooldown and watch the demo if you get a report PLS.

I have the same launcher error when using the windows build of CSGO. Still don't have access to cs2 so I can't comment on that. Have you tried disabling proton for CSGO so that steam uses the linux build instead?

@molecula451 commented on 2023-09-25T07:07:23:

CS:GO has native linux supports, why yo should be trying proton?

[Cytomax55]

My mind if foggy but PRIOR to installing CS2, i was having CONSTANT crashing that was random when playing CS GO native OPENGL and then i would have problems getting back into the game once it crashed, i had to like restart the computer etc...

The computer played other graphically intensive games perfectly fine and was not overheating during this same time period

i fixed it 100% by using
-vulkan

I forgot if i ended up using proton or native with -vulkan

anyways after playing for months without a single crash i installed CS2 and i cant even load CSGO, other games work perfectly fine

I will try native CSGO but the type of error i am seeing it seems like its not a graphics issue its something much more deeper and basic

[Cytomax55]

I am now using csgo NATIVE with -vulkan and it seems to be running fine now

[Ph42oN]

After CS 2 update, it runs, but i have to keep my mouse cursor on my main monitor until game appears or it seems to start in resolution of my 2nd monitor that is in portrait mode. but it appears on left side of my main monitor and starts flickering.

There is no sound, im running pure alsa so the fix that worked for some, -sdlaudiodriver pipewire does not help.

Edit: Actually sounds work but i just have to close everything else that uses sound. Maybe i could get it working by switching to pipewire but doesn't change the fact that something is wrong with alsa in this game, as other games have sounds working fine while using discord or watching videos in firefox.
I also tried running it in proton, but could not get it to start, only native starts for me.

[Eoin-ONeill-Yokai]

I've been trying to launch the editor tools for CS2 using wine / proton -- has anyone had any luck here?

Basically, I've tried installing the windows files manually using download_depot:

download_depot 730 732

And then merging the windows binaries into my usual game folder. When I try to run csgocfg.exe via wine, I seem to get errors regarding virtual memory usage (I should have enough memory I think, at 64 gigs.)

I'll keep experimenting on my end later tonight, but want to know if anyone else out there has had any luck with the Workshop Tools dlc.

[whompyjaw]

I am now using csgo NATIVE with -vulkan and it seems to be running fine now

How are you doing that though? Once I updated to CS2 and I have to turn on compatibility to use Proton in order to use the CSGO beta

Neither the game or workshop tools run at all in proton. Proton 8-3, Experimental or even GE 8-16 work. Whether using -vulkan or not. When looking inside the mini dumps, scrolling all the way to the bottom in a text editor to the human readable section, it's always this error:

To my understanding, it seems it can't find my GPU at all, which is very strange.

Hello,
I installed CS2 on my computer (using Linux Mint).
Unfortunately, when I launch the game, the game does not open and the button "play" goes to "cancel" or "stop" and then returns to "play".
Have you ever seen this king of issue with CS2 on Linux?
la-dbs

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Install Steam and CS2 on linux
2. Use proton experimental
3. Launch CS2

[simifor]

@la-dbs you can't play cs2 on the linux client with proton, you won't get past vac. It's a native title so you should run it normally, without proton. If you want to play the windows version of cs2 on linux you'll have to install the windows version of steam through wine.

[AllanVicthor]

cs2 is running but doesn't show up

SO: ubuntu 20.04.6
Processor: 12th gen intel core i5-1235U
Memory: 8 gb ram
Graphics: 1920x1080 intel

i don't know if is possible running cs2 with this system and what i have to do for running in this case.

[CNR0706]

The game works fine for me when ran in WINE / Proton, however there is absolutely no sound whatsoever. The audio device selection just says "Sound disabled".

Sound works fine in the native build and all other Proton games.

Please consider fixing this as CS:2's Linux build can be literally unplayable at times.

[Dupiter-AU]

I can get the CS2 workshop tools to launch by downloading the windows binary depot (2347771), setting cs2.exe up as a non-steam game and running with -tools flag and under Proton. It will not load if you are using wine, as it won't be able to find the steamworks sdk.

There are problems with using proton however. First roadblock I've encountered was flickery viewports in hammer, where if a viewport wasn't being focused by the mouse it would go completely blank or flicker with strange graphics (2D and 3D). This also happened with S1 hammer, but the fix there was to switch to the system wine and not use proton (I used Lutris to do so). Obviously that isn't the solution here, since it will only launch under Proton.

I don't know if there's a fix to that without asking Valve to fix the issue in Proton, or getting a native linux port. I've tried using PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1, but that caused startup crashing (Could be a solution if we can get it running).

EDIT: I should also point out that the fonts are a bit cut off which makes some menus hard to read

[Dupiter-AU]

Update with video showcasing the problem with S2 hammer viewports on Proton 9.0-2 (Other proton versions and GE have the same problem)
