Everything works perfectly now, no crashes when joining a server, no FPS drops. The only thing left (regarding the game) is the ability to change the resolution while in-game.

Steps that I did to fix the problem:

After installing 310.14 NVIDIA Driver, I typed these commands (in the same order as bellow):

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs (should not be necessary in 32bit systems)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx:i386
sudo reboot now

Then, on the game I disabled the HDR (High dynamic range). -> http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/1891/capturadetelade20130102.png

Now I get Full FPS rate and no crashing what so ever. Also loading times are now 1minute. Before it was 5-6

This fixed MY problem, on Ubuntu 12.04.1 64bit. Hope it helps more people.

PS: All commands found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve
PS2: Seems to me that it's not needed to type those commands before installing Steam. I typed them after the instalation with the Client closed at the time.

Thanks for the info! I'm sure it'll help a bunch of people.

Let's hope it does. I'll test the same steps on Debian and onto some other non-debian distro. Any recomendation?

@amarildojr: There is a large community of OpenSuSE and Arch users.

Seems the steps are pretty universal, though. Make sure you have multiarch installed, add the repository for the newest X updates (which includes mesa), and insure that you have libgl1-mesa-glx

Yes, I install "ia32-libs" on Ubuntu. I'll add it to the thread info, although there was never a problem installing 32bit software without the 32bit libs for me, neither any harm with it installed.

Nothing extracted yet.
