Linux gaming is fun

Funny, on release day, I got downvoted for pointing out they pulled a Blizzard/Overwatch 2.

Half-baked release with missing content and no new content? Check.

Release removes previous release, a game that was at one time a paid game? Check.

I feel like Valve gets way too much of a pass here on this for just being Valve.

It's a shame that Valve couldn't get Steam to issue them a new AppID, so they had to delete CSGO in order to put CS2 on the store. It was the only way.

Hm, it’s playable for me

Played hours on CS2 yesterday... ran perfectly fine on my Arch installation... haven't experienced these issues...

Ong why did they not just keep csgo on steam and release cs2 beside it or wait until cs2 is atleast playable on linux

Why is everybody so upset at the CS2 update. It was my impression that besides a few new maps and menu updates that the primary change was the implementation of the source 2 engine. From what I've seen it doesn't appear to be that much different than the original CSGO I paid for back in the day. Or am I missing something?

Why do I feel like giving this a month will make all of this irrelevant?

but this is a crime against God, humanity, gaming and anime!!!!

I get it, your favorite game doesn't work because of a new release. It happens. Take a ticket and sit down for a while. Valve isn't omniscient about every Linux build in existence or possible glitch on the first week of release.

Hell, TF2 has been broken on arch for almost a month without bypassing a .dll file.

I'm out of the loop, can somebody explain ?

Welp you can just use no steam servers. And hope they are not full of hackers. And you cant play it officially competetive

Arms race is gone. Back to TF2 I guess?

On my Slackware64 system cs2 runs the same as cs:go or xonotic used to run

I played a casual game and got kicked. If it was ranked, I would understand, but it was casual!

I didn't realize that they replaced cs:go with cs2 until I was home and noticed an update to install cs2.... if it was an independent launch, that would not happen.

The only CS game I've played somewhat recently is cs:go, so I put two and two together (ha, pun), and groaned.

I thought valve was better than this.

I had an amazing time playing CS2 Saturday night. The only performance issues I had was in the Ancient map, when I'm near the water my fps tanks to 50fps from like 90 fps on high.

I just want to play ZE. Valve please fix.

Only game I ever played on Linux is literally Roblox lol

its fine for me so far, but sometimes i get those moments where it lags for like 20 seconds straight and then it stops. i still dont know why its happening.

They fixed most of it with a recent patch I think

It started with lagging. While loading the game. Classic lagging as in the dark filter fading out flimmering. Then CS2 kept rapidly switching between Fullscreen and Windowed, on sway. Then it randomly froze. My whole system. No luck with even switching to another TTY. So I force rebooted after 10 mins. Started into clearing orphaned inodes, then staying on that message. Force rebooted again. Still stuck at "Arch_Linux_boot: clean, x/x files, x/x blocks".

CS2 basically just broke my PC.

I will never touch it again. I predicted it was going to be trash, not gameplay wise but programmatically.

anybody that is in here complaining they can't play this game on Linux should seriously evaluate their life choices, instead of whining maybe you should just install Windows
