-novid -heapsize 750000 -vulkan
The game stuttered very hard, this was only fixed by adding the -heapsize launch argument. I was using the game with mods, this could have caused this, I did not check without mods.
Without -heapsize the game would immediately crash after loading into a level
-vulkan
Only note is to not use opengl when using intel arc as it will cause massive slowdowns and crashes. Force Vulkan in command arguments.
-vulkan -novid
played versus with my friends, no issues at all
You will need to enable -vulkan in launch options if you want play with mods, in other cases also with -heapsize 750000 to get rid of crash
STEAM_COMPAT_RUNTIME_SDL3=1 SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 %command% -vulkan -console +mat_vsync 0 +fps_max 83 -novid -nojoy -noforcemaccel -noforcemparms -noforcemspd -exec autoexec
I had some kind of delay with the mouse when I turned on vulkan every time, but I think I fixed it using the commands written above and turn on raw input in the game.
SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland STEAM_COMPAT_RUNTIME_SDL3=1 mangohud %command% +cl_interp 0.066 +fps_max 0 -novid -vulkan +mat_monitorgamma_tv_enabled 0 +mat_monitorgamma 2.2
Anyone spamming fire ammo, will cause textures to disappear and then the game will eventually crash. To test this, select Survival mode and select Train Car map. Upgrade your shotgun with fire ammo and then spam fire the tank.
No problems
SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland -- This needs to be set before any other parameter or the game won't launch -- STEAM_COMPAT_RUNTIME_SDL3=1 -- Force the game to use the latest SDL3 library -- -vulkan -- To use Wayland, the game needs to run in Vulkan instead of OpenGL -- +mat_monitorgamma_tv_enabled 0 +mat_monitorgamma 2.2 -- These are recommended to set the gamma correctly for a PC monitor.
Runs great; for some odd reason, using mangohud in combination with the "-vulkan" launch option caused crashes on startup.
-novid -heapsize 750000 -vulkan
If you have too many workshop mods, you may run into crashes and weird graphical issues. "-heapsize 750000" can help negate this.
mangohud STEAM_COMPAT_RUNTIME_SDL2=1 SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland %command% +cl_interp 0.066 +fps_max 0 -novid -vulkan +mat_monitorgamma_tv_enabled 0 +mat_monitorgamma 2.2
Anyone on your team using fire ammo will cause the game to crash and the textures to disappear.
No problems
STEAM_COMPAT_RUNTIME_SDL2=1 SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland %command% -vulkan *** needed to force the game to use Wayland instead of Xwayland ***
+mat_monitorgamma_tv_enabled 0 +mat_monitorgamma 2.2
*** When the game is full screen, the black levels were raised. Reason, the game defaults to a gamma of 1.7, which is too bright for a monitor using sRGB, with the variable +mat_monitorgamma_tv_enabled. Setting it 0 turns it off and then you can select the correct gamma of 2.2 with the variable +mat_monitorgamma 2.2. ***
STEAM_COMPAT_RUNTIME_SDL2=1 SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland mangohud %command% +cl_interp 0.066 +fps_max 0 -novid -vulkan
Going full screen in game with Vulkan causes the black levels to be raised.. Borderless window fixes this but then you can't use Vsync (FIFO Mode) because it sets it to Immediate mode.
Anyone using Fire Ammo will cause the game to crash and the textures to disappear
STEAM_COMPAT_RUNTIME_SDL2=1 SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland %command% -vulkan
(these commands are needed to run the game in Wayland)
gamemoderun %command% -vulkan
Most map models suddenly became invisible, fixed by restarting the game
Crashed once
-vulkan -novid
For Addons / Workshop I needed to move the game to a secondary drive. See this github thread for more details.
https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam/issues/851
Works, just set the launch commands and, if you are using workshop, use another drive.
Funciona excelente, me ha funcionado mejor que cuando mi dispositivo (Asus Rog Ally Z1 Extreme) tenia Windows 11.
Es un port nativo, nada mas que agregar, probe el juego en LAN con mi PC con Windows y va bien, jugue online y va perfecto, los mods del Workshop van excelente (todos sin excepcion), no he tenido problemas para jugar de ningun tipo, ni grafico, ni de estabilidad DE NADA, es el juego que mas horas tengo jugado en Steam, 4000 horas casi, puedo confirmar que al menos en comparacion a Windows en mi dispositivo, va perfecto.
gamemoderun %command% -language schinese -vulkan
延迟稍微有点高，不过可能是因为联机朋友不在同一个地区
非常好
-vulkan
Didnt have any problems, i was host though. But people were able to play with me and didnt have issues either
Make sure to use -vulkan to play in the vulkan version
-vulkan
crashes once in game, runs fine after putting -vulkan in launch options
gamemoderun %command% -vulkan
Atleast on KDE Plasma, the game window in bordeless fullscreen just bumps the game just above the task bar, you may need to fullscreen it manually by right clicking game in task bar>more>fullscreen
Due to Vulkan being used, game will stutter alot (shader creation), however the longer you play the less it stutters.
good native build works as expected
works as expected
-vulkan
Only played with friends in a private lobby. Did not try matchmaking.
-vulkan -novid
Full screen via Proton makes the game fail to create a D3D device, full screen via native makes the game locked to 60 hz
Occurs exclusively while playing workshop maps, some maps will consistently crash the game on Linux native, it's mitigated through running the game on Proton
Proton version fails to find public matches due to VAC, hosting a game is fine
-vulkan
After playing some longer sessions with friends, it turns out that the native linux version would crash after about 30-45 mins of gameplay. Both me and a friend experinced multiple crashes with the Linux version because of this.
Using -vulkan, I left the game on in survival mode as a stress test, and it seemed fine after over an hour of gameplay, so I think this option does fix crashing if you have any.
-vulkan
Processing vulkan shaders takes AGES and skipping it makes game lag on first walkthrough of every map
prepare high end cpu just to make these damn shaders or stay pc at night before you go to sleep
gamemoderun %command% -vulkan
Crashes when run on OpenGL with shader settings above low and some objects vanished when looked at. Works perfectly with Vulkan.
Natively supports Linux
The game functions flawlessly, and I did not experience any issues!
Some stuttering at the beginning of some maps
Perfect OOB
Some mods might cause some rare crashes, YMMV but generally they're going to work fine for the most part.
game crashes
hl2 file corrupted borks the game
-vulkan
crashes sometimes idk if it's bc of addons
awesome
very good
it just works
-vulkan -novid +map credits +mp_gamemode gunbrain
Frequent effect error causing all entities to become invisible, leaving only map geometry, making the game almost completely unplayable. Can be worked around with mods.
Very frequent crash to desktop on map load. Occasional crash to desktop at any other random point for no discernable reason.

Thanks Valve for making your games run natively on Linux
mangohud PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 %command% -novid -vulkan -background $(shuf -i 1-5 -n 1)
By default, at least on both Nobara 41 and Fedora 42, only the Dead Center menu background appears unless you put "-background $(shuf -i 1-5 -n 1)" in the launch options. Also on Fedora 42, there's no main menu music unless you copy Portal 2's libmiles.so from Portal 2/bin to Left 4 Dead 2/bin and replace the file. Make sure the file is written in lowercase in order for the fix to work.
I don't know if it's a placebo, but PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 seems to reduce audio latency. "-vulkan" replaces ToGL with DXVK and makes the game run better, and "-novid" skips the startup intro.
Had to do some work, but after all that it works rather well. I just wish Valve fixed all these issues without having to do it ourselves.
Some issues I've mentioned, but with some effort it is possible to fix them.
Works flawlessly, just like on Windows.
Haven't tried Multiplayer, but playing Singleplayer with Bots works like a charm!
