Is anybody here playing cs2? The game runs natively on Linux, but its more laggy than it was on windows for me. If i run cs2 in proton it works better than natively on Linux, but I'm unable to play competitive that way.

My issue is the following: the game just hangs/freezes occasionally. The duration is random. Could be 3-5 seconds, could be 10. Could be that I'd have to restart the game.

This occurs sometimes in the warm up before a match or when the bomb explodes.

It happens most consistently when i press the escape button in-game.

I'm running it on nobara/KDE. I've got the latest graphics drivers, tried validating the game files.

The game is set to run full screen ( as windowed fullscreen caps the framerate to 60, while the screen supports 144 ).

I can add more hardware info if required. The PC is 4 years old so its not ancient, but also not latest and greatest ( amd CPU+nvidia rtx 2080ti ).

Anybody else ran into this behaviour and ( hopefully) found a solution for it? Googling only left me with sites telling me to upgrade my gfx drivers on windows or 6 year old threads of CS:GO on windows.

Switching between wayland and x11 didn't really seem to make a lot of difference. It feels a little bit better on x11, but negligible.

There isnt really anything running on the backgroudn except discord.

Thanks!

They fixed an issue. They broke something in an update in July and fixed it a week or 2 ago.

Hmm, I wonder if that was it. It didn't really seem to have anything to do with menus though.

It was in my case. Issue completely vanished overnight. I had a working work around where I lowered certain settings and it only occurred sometimes at round ends or when I pressed tab to view the scoreboard. Usually alt-tabbing resolved it.

After they released that fiz everything worked like normal again.

Very interesting. I changed my IO scheduler to kyber for unrelated issues... Maybe between that and the processing power (7950X + 7900 XTX)... my hangs were just sub second.

The issue was related to the Linux scheduler. So if you had a different scheduler than what moet distributions have as default, you might not have experienced that issue.

There are a few people in the comments that reported that they compiled a different scheduler and that the issue completely disappeared
