  • borderless window mode it is. you might be wanting to run exclusive fullscreen but that's only an advantage on windows and their terrible compositor
  • i'm just on pipewire natively and things are ok. i only noticed that sound can get flaky when you're coasting too close to 100% cpu
  • yeah gamescope might not work, though it doesn't really give cs2 any advantage - fsr is already in the game. if you're trying to do stretched 4:3 maybe use your screen's upscaler?
  • for me there was something similar on nvidia, had to toggle vsync and/or msaa on/off, not sure which combination did it. on amd it's fine. maybe one of those things where you either wait for nvidia to not prioritize big ai, or you give the new NVK driver a try.

  1. this does not fix it
  2. it was working fine for me too, until an update to CS2 broke audio for me and I needed a patch
  3. screens upscaler? Like change the monitor resolution? That's the only option with how broken no. 1 is
  4. ProtonDB shows that the FPS drops also occur with AMD

I own a 4k monitor, but my GPU can't really handle it, FSR doesn't really help because for some reason it also doesn't reduce Vram usage so the lag continues, I am forced to either play windowed or reduce my monitor resolution to either 2k or 1080p for better FPS, and occasionally CS2 assigns some vital graphics shit to ram when Vram is full and it STAYS in ram, making my FPS hard stuck on 40-50 FPS.

This game was made to be run on even 2gb cards, how does it struggle on Linux like so?

I play on the LOWEST settings, I got 100 FPS on Cyberpunk 2077 high settings w/o rt 2k Res, how does CS2 make me suffer the most out of every other game in my library?

I wish steam just made wine work instead of having a half assed Linux port
