PSA for any fellow Linux CS players out there: the June 20 update to CSGO made the game crash on every launch for me until I disabled the Steam overlay. Not sure exactly what the cause was, but I suspect something with CSGO doesn’t play nice with the redesigned Steam overlay.
I had a similar bug where the game would crash any time I opened the overlay, and like you suggested, disabling the overlay works as a temporary patch. It means that I can’t buy items in game, though.
Thanks for the info, I’ll try this out. My experience is slightly different, in that it would load fine the first time, but then crash on launch every subsequent time until I rebooted my computer. I’ve also occasionally been getting crashes entering text in Yprac maps.
I had no issues since the redesign, but I haven’t loaded since the 20th I think.
Gets out of bed to test
Yep confirming I can still load it with the new UI.
Start Command for CSGO:
command% -vulkan -novid -nojoy@captainsiscold@kbin.social Maybe try hitting the “Delete” button for the in-game overlay data?
Thanks for looking into it on your end; I’ll see if I can track down any more info as to what might be causing it on my system, then.
Us linux gamers gotta look out for other linux gamers 🤜
Interesting. You on arch by any chance? No issue on fedora with flatpak steam for me
@jmf Manjaro, so definitely Arch-based.
