The open gl renderer starts, but i cant play the game itself. Rendering the vulkan shaders, rebooting and using proton experimental(i use the native version) didnt worked.

Not sure if it's coincidental timing, but I installed the Nvidia 535 driver at the same time as this update and was having the same sounding issue. I backed down to 525 as I have many times before and the game worked again. (I don't know what it is but the 535 driver hates my PC.)

I use AMD so that isnt the issue

Same issue switched to x11 and it worked fine. Even before it stopped launching it ran like shit on Wayland from launch. Real disappointing coming from Valve. If they can't properly support native linux support who can.

Doesnt work

There's a GitHub issue tracking this bug. It seems like SDL3 was finally released and Valve "forgot" to compile SDL3 with Wayland support.

If you're using Wayland, you can add a startup parameter to force the game to use X11 and it will work.

This issue is also affecting Dota 2.

Did you use SDL_VIDEODRIVER or SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER? The former one is the old parameter and the latter works. I am using it right now on a Wayland session.

Both don't work

SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=x11 %command% -vulkan or WAYLAND_DISPLAY= %command% -vulkan

Also I haven't bothered checking, do you still need to have -vulkan for CS2 to use Vulkan? Does Source 2 even have OpenGL on Linux?

both dont work

Try playing with -vulkan. Works on my side here

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

doesnt work. Nothing changed

Does it work when you let it pick the proton version instead? I had the same issue when trying to force it to use proton experimental.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

doesnt work. Even the open gl renderer doesnt open
