'-sdlaudiodriver pulseaudio' needs to be in your launch options otherwise the audio won't work
Video memory leak, after your video memory is filled the games performance may degrade but importantly smoke grenades turn invisible up close
Worked out-of-the-box
Before I modded the game, I played the majority of it completely unmodded. I was surprised how stable it was, given it's reputation as being a bugfest.
mangohud gamemoderun %command%
I tinker and develop a bit
Lua auto-refresh doesn't work, making development abysmal compared to the Windows version
Lack of Lua auto-refresh makes this not as preferable as running this through Windows for developers, but for the average player, this works perfectly. It's come a long way from a year back! The native version of the game is very poor. Fonts don't render as they do on Windows, fonts aren't loaded at all (you're stuck with stock game fonts, none from addons), any uppercase letters in any file name will cause it to not be loaded, and no Source modding tools are included with the Linux binaries (no Hammer, sure, but no vbsp/vvis/vrad, no studiomdl)
Vocalizer spam is difficult
Nearly impossible to use the central option in radial chat wheels, making vocalizer spam very difficult
Black screen, then a crash
I also tried running the game through Proton to no avail.
Works pretty much perfectly
While game is minimized, it'll still take mouse input. Maybe keyboard too.
