Native port sucks
Random stutters followed by crash.. Even Steam crashes both with the game
Crashes randomly, old issue, I've seen a github issue opened somewhere, it's pretty old.
Though on Proton it doesn't crash and you're allowed to play on VAC servers (Proton Experimental).
Performance sucks on Wayland, switch to X11 to get rid of lag spikes
No audio on pipewire if you don't use launch parameter -sdlaudiodriver pipewire
If your vram is full, sometimes smoke grenades are "invisible", you can see through them. Maaan I had a lot of fun with this!
Awful FPS comparing to Windows experience
Crashes if I move my mouse during game's startup movie
There's actually a way to run the game on Wayland (FPS is perfect after you do this), you have to modify cs2.sh a bit (change this line "export SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=x11" to "export SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=wayland").
Cool right? But unfortunately you're unable to normally move your mouse on Wayland, it's stupid.
LD_PRELOAD="" %command%
Alt-Tabbing and going back to the game breaks the window (Only if you're on Wayland)
Lag spikes when looking at smoke particles
EZ2 Won't launch without the launch parameters I specified
Native version WILL work even better than on windows. All you have to do is to install a patcher: https://github.com/ret-0/gmod-linux-patcher
gamemoderun %command%
Game's in 10 fps until you change from fullscreen to borderless or form borderless to fullscreen
For some people even GModCEFCodecFix doesn't change the situation on native version. This fix combines GModCEFCodecFix and gmod-linux-patcher:
The game won't launch with original proton for me.
Absolutely recommend to play. If the game won't start try to use GE version of proton.
Game crashes
gamemoderun %command%
Crashes at startup instantly
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="wsock32=n,b" gamemoderun %command%
Don't install native version in under any circumstances! I downloaded native port at first, tried to join to my Windows friend - didn't work (Dead servers I guess?)
Changed it to Proton. Result? My friend and I had to wait another hour until the game downloads 40 GBs of files..
Majestic native port!
Stutters a bit
In SpaceEngine/config/main-user.cfg.. Change "CoreContext" setting to false
It crashed for me otherwise..
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libtcmalloc.so %command% -novid -width 1920 -height 1080 -windowed -noborder -refresh 75 -sw -vulkan
Fullscreen freezes the game so the only way to escape is to reboot pc.
Had to use launch parameters to make the game launch at least. You can play but without fullscreen, but you'll hate to see your dock panel all the time.
(I use GNOME), You can install extension so you can make any window fullscreen but keep it borderless-window at the same time.
Hands down perfect native port
Thank you, Nelson!
