Why do you use Proton instead of native run?

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

@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.

@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.

GPU: Nvidia GTX950M
Driver: 435.21
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 Your drivers may be corrupt or out of date.

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.

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.

Game launches with D9VK enabled. Shows this when launched.

@kiroma Try to update your drivers or reinstall it

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

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

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

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.

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?

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.

@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

Native version got updated today. Seems fixed now.

@kisak-valve is it a general problem with overwatch or is it just broken on linux?
I can download and click "review evidence" then it loads the map and as soon as it should open the game I'm back on the main menu.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

@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.

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.

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

Progress report on getting CS2 tools usable:

So far system wine doesn't seem to be an option. I got close by copying over dlls and exes from a windows steam install, but CS2 complains it can't make the connection to steam because it is not open. Launching steam from inside wine does not seem to change the outcome, nor does making a sym link to the linux steam dir.

-vulkan and/or -forcenovsync takes no effect.

I think the best bet so far is to have it usable within Proton, but for that to happen Valve probably needs to investigate and fix the viewport problem. @kisak-valve If you could let the Proton team know about this problem that would be greatly appreciated, and I think I speak on behalf of everyone here that we would be happy to provide logs or any other necessary information if needed.

Trying CS2 after a long time and I am just confused and wasting my time with linux again. Proton is not a option because of vac. But using the native version is running terrible. I lose a lot of fps ~60fps in practice deathmatch. If this ever changes wake me up.

If you could let the Proton team know about this problem that would be greatly appreciated, and I think I speak on behalf of everyone here that we would be happy to provide logs or any other necessary information if needed.

Or, better yet, some linux native tools would be a nice work around assuming it isn't a complete pain to compile it or package it.

@SolidBrave
Are you using the "-vulkan" launch option to enable Vulkan API? I would also use "-fullscreen" as well and see if these increase your FPS.

Also try using mesa git master packages and definitely make sure youre using the latest video drivers.

@shoober420
I did a full system update and things seemed to be improved (hits now the 200fps cap in menu). But the fullscreen on start seems bugged either way. top panel is constantly shown.

mesa 24.1.5-arch1.1

using dust2 practice competitive
native: avg ~240fps
proton 9.0.5 ~270fps

would have rather used something like the benchmark map but workshops would also do not work with proton.
Regarding the top panel, is there additionally maybe a issue then I switch to window and then back to fullscreen (select window, apply, select fullscreen apply). I did 2 benchmark runs on native and the games feels off after doing it. Running the benchmarks I did get lower numbers because of it. (235 vs 252)
I guess natives is usable, but I have to select window and then select fullscreen, press apply, on every start...
Overall I am not happy with the performance of cs2 on linux, kinda hoped with proton I get closer to windows. And I rly dont want to use windows dualboot, no fun dealing the grub overwrites.

If you guys are disappointed with the performance CS:2 is giving you on Linux, give this a shot: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1ej0yx2/comment/lgabcdt/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

It's not ideal, but it has improved performance quite a lot for me.

@SolidBrave
Since Garuda Linux is an Arch based distro, see if you have access to the AUR and install the mesa-git and llvm-minimal-git packages. Install llvm-minimal-git first, then mesa-git.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/llvm-minimal-git

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mesa-git

Theres a high chance you will see a performance increase using the latest mesa and llvm, especially with new games like CS2.

EDIT:
It looks like Garuda comes pre-packaged with the yay AUR wrapper, so use yay to download llvm-minimal-git and mesa-git.

EDIT2:
I would even install sdl3-git as well. It wouldnt hurt and only increases the chances of better compatibility and performance.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sdl3-git

@shoober420 thank you for trying to but you could have warned me. llvm-minimal-git is installing since over 6h... (building cxx obects slow, only 5% cpu load)
I'll edit once is done interesting if does anything at the end.
@CNR0706 maybe I should have tried you options first :D

@SolidBrave

My apologize, I didnt know your PC specs. I would let LLVM compile overnight as your sleeping next time. Its definitely worth it if youre on AMD graphics. I would compile LLVM once a week or so before bed. Thats what I did on my AMD machine.

I have managed to get the editor open but it claims that the csgo folder is read only and I can't save my map there, but I have to save it there to build.

Use the native version instead

This is currently broken for me... ill try it again later

Hello. If the topic is still relevant, it also doesn't log into the official CS2 match and triggers an anti-cheat warning about faulty files - this happens when I log in from any version of Proton. I don't know about others, but I have a bug on the native version of the game, which replaces all Russian characters (especially when typing from the keyboard) with unknown characters - this all happens on the native version and works stably in Proton. I can send you additional information about the hardware and system later, if required. ( I also have minor bugs in the native version of the game, they are related to incorrect operation of the CS2 window and performance-related bugs )

This is currently broken for me... ill try it again later

Update: it fixed itself

Workshop tools now fail to launch

System information

• OS: CachyOS

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor

• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT

• Driver: Mesa 26.0.6-arch2.2

• Display server: Wayland

• Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Previously the workshop tools could be launched to perform simple tasks such as updating a workshop asset; this could be achieved by either running Steam exe via Wine, or by adding cs2.exe as a non-steam game on native Steam and launching with -tools
Now however, the tools fail to launch due to missing/corrupt game files. This has been tested by me and a friend also on Linux, both with the same result. Base game launches fine natively or with proton

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Launch workshop tools via wine or proton

The above tools issue seems to have been fixed, maybe by the minor CS2 patch. Thanks!

I got a strange issue to report.

Something in Proton Experimental broke Mouse Input in Counter Strike 2. When running CS2 under Proton Experimental, the mouse is hardlocked to a tiny square zone, or stiff movement as you call it, but if I run CS2 under Proton 10, mouse input is fixed and I can freely move my camera around.

I am not sure if this is a CS2 update problem or a Proton Experimental problem.

@MyNamesTee Would you be able to provide a log and a few details about the issue? Details such as system specs, the kind of mouse you're using, and your game settings? If this is in fullscreen or windowed, one or two monitors, would be helpful to know.

For the log, you can add PROTON_LOG=+x11drv,+x11settings,+event,+cursor,+win,+message %command% into the Launch Options in the game's Properties menu on Steam. Run the game, hit the issue, and then attach the 'steam-730.log' file from your home directory (and remove the launch option afterward).

Hey there @AnthonySchliesman I have tried to get a log but for some odd reason, Proton did not output a log I can attach. For the other requirements, I am running Fedora 44 Workstation with GNOME 50 using Kernel 7.0.8, I dont have a multi-monitor setup. I tried playing with a controller plugged in and I was able to move my mouse, but if I play without a controller plugged in, my mouse is then hardlocked and being unable to remove. I am able to play normally under Proton 10.
