Counter Strike Source game fails on startup

[foxandr]

Your system information

• Steam client version (build number or date): 1689034492 (2023-07-11)
• Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Debian Testing
• Opted into Steam client beta?: no
• Have you checked for system updates?: yes
• Steam Logs: steam-logs.tar.gz
• GPU: AMD AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT (navi10, LLVM 16.0.3, DRM 3.53, 6.1.0-9-amd64)
• Video driver: 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 23.2.0-devel
• OpenGL: 4.6

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Steam was update to the latest version two days ago. I'm not able to launch Counter Strike Source anymore after this update. The game crashes immediately after start without any message. But it worked well, because I launched successfully the game at the same day before update. Other games launch well after update - Counter Strike Global Offensive or Worms Clan Wars for example.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Open updated to 1689034492 version stream app
2. Go to the game library
3. Try to launch Counter Strike Source
4. The game crashed immediately

I found in the logs this:

/home/fox/.steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Source/hl2.exe: 1: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string

I attached two more files:
steam output after the launching from console & info about my system

Hi, yeah, I went to open the native CS:Source here and it closes with this warning:
src/tcmalloc.cc:278] Attempt to free invalid pointer 0xa717ad0

So, had the idea to replace the libtcmalloc that comes with CS:Source, build the latest gperftools now, then replace the libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 with what I build locally and the game starts normal..

I used these flags when building gperftools and did not strip, debug build:
export CFLAGS='-Og -g2 -DDEBUG -march=pentium4 -mtune=haswell'
export CXXFLAGS='-Og -g2 -DDEBUG -march=pentium4 -mtune=haswell'
export LDFLAGS='-Wl,--as-needed,--build-id=sha1'

Hello @ViNi-Arco, your issue is #5043 instead of this issue report.

[kisak-valve]

Hello @foxandr, re-reading this issue report, it's the same issue as ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#9875.

If you go to the per-game properties -> Compatibility - > check Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool and select Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 (scout) from the drop down list, that should get the Steam client to switch to the Linux native variant of the game. After that you can test how game behaves with that override unchecked.

Closing in favor of ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#9875.
