• Have you checked for system updates?: yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

i expect game to launch

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. add -vulkan launch option
2. start the game

Actual result in log:

• without -vulkan option game starts
• this issue came with last small CS GO update several days ago (Monday?)
• i think reason is "src/tcmalloc.cc:390] Attempt to free invalid pointer: 0x40a6210"

what distro are you using?
I'm on archlinux, and iirc it stopped working when I -Syu'd yesterday after hearing that the toolchain finally updated
the flatpak version of steam worked for me with -vulkan

[wagyourtail]

you need to then copy /usr/lib/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4.5.9 to steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/bin/linux64/ 3 times and rename it to the previous file names.

is that "safe" to do with VAC?
If i were valve i'd be checking Shared library hashes for tampering

Hello @valonce, this issue is already being tracked at #2887. Closing as a duplicate.

Hello.
Thx a lot @kvbev !!

For people under Ubuntu 21.10 and had a problem like that, this worked for me :

cd ~/.steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike\ Global\ Offensive/bin/linux64
sudo apt install libtcmalloc-minimal4
cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4.5.9 .
mv libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4.5.9 libtcmalloc_minimal.so
cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4.5.9 .
mv libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4.5.9 libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0
cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4.5.9 .
mv libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4.5.9 libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4

Put -vulkan -nojoy -novid for parameters of the game.

For Fedora:
sudo dnf install gperftools-libs.i686 and run Steam with LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libtcmalloc.so.4 steam
