Broken view in menu on Linux

[murbanowicz]

As visible on the screenshots, the menu view is broken and it is misaligned with the mouse which is really strange. It makes it impossible to play on Ubuntu. It is strange as the sidebars look ok.

Same resolution, same issues. Thanks for reporting murbanowicz, thought i'm the only having these issues. Arch Linux Kernel: 5.7.0-1 AMD Open Source driver Ultra Widescreen: 5120x1440

Windowed mode is possible but that's no real solution.

[murbanowicz]

The current workaround is: triple_monitor_mode 1 in console. UI is a bit worse but game is working and you can get used to it, however IT STILL SHOULD BE FIXED. I see it is probably caused by CSGO on Linux not being able to recognize different screen ratio.

I'm having the same issue as well.

Ubuntu Budgie 20.04 Kernel 5.4.0 Nvidia drivers Ultra Widescreen: 5120x1440

Setting triple_monitor_mode 1 in the console makes it work technically, however there are many, many glitches in that mode right now. Adding -windowed -w 1920 -h 1080 to the launch options also acts as a workaround, but of course this is not fullscreen.

Also having this issue! Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS amdgpu-pro (Proprietary AMD GPU drivers) Dual setup with CS:GO running on the main 4K screen

[7RST1]

Sorry for commenting again, but despite lack of activity, I think this issue is pretty urgent. It might affect every Ubuntu user with fractional scaling enabled.

User Interface label should be added, no?

[k3d3]

I agree - this should probably be a lot higher priority than it currently is, as it COMPLETELY breaks CS:GO on Ubuntu.

[7RST1]

This issue still exists in Ubuntu 20.10. Also tried switching to open-source amdgpu drivers, and it didn't help. I'm also trying to run it on my new 1440p screen and I face the same issue. I miss being able to play CS:GO!

wmctrl -r "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive - OpenGL" -e 0,1080,371,1920,1080' wmctrl -r "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive - OpenGL" -e 0,x_offset, y_offset,x_wide,y_height' I had this issue for my multi-monitor setup and running this command after I launch the game fixes my issue.

[7RST1]

The above solution did not work for me. I can't believe more people are not reporting the issue? Are there so few people using fractional scaling?

[russell]

Can the title of this issue be updated? my experience is that the entire game-play is ruined, it's not just the menu. Yep you can work around it with triple_monitor_mode 1 but the game isn't actually playable. Once you can get into a game, either using triple monitor mode or single monitor mode, the visual artifacting makes it unplayable.

e.g.

Using single monitor mode after switching into the game, has the exact same issue

[Zamundaaa]

Same here. Like @russell mentions, even if you manage to enable triple monitor mode with the broken UI, there are some problems like the AUG view not working correctly and even leaving behind some sort of overlay that is really annoying and doesn't go away until you restart the game.

[tosziro]

Same on Ubuntu 20.04.3 with CS:GO and also proton game Wolfenstein: The new order. LG 27 3840x2160 scalled 150% X11 RX 5700 XT Mesa opensource drivers

[flo333]

My current workaround is to change the system-wide resolution to 3840x1080 before launching the game, this seems to be working fine so far (CRG9).

Also, somehow mine is too blurry in game. Antialias off and everything.

[JackedFrost]

+1, Monitor: Crg9 distro:EndeavourOS game works at 3840x1080, 5120x1440 breaks the UI.

[echozio]

I'm also experiencing the broken UI and seemingly lower rendering resolution. The quality issue is consistent with what I've noted here for other source games: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/issues/3437

[zebcarnell]

For anyone running 32:9 at 5120x1440 with "triple_monitor_mode 1" and wants decent rendering, drop down to 3840x1080 until this gets resolved.

Here's an example of what I use to launch CSGO. Note: KDE only and supports Wayland. You could easily make a similar solution for another DE with the example.

You'll need to change kscreen-doctor outputs to match your primary monitor. Find them with "kscreen-doctor -o"

#!/bin/bash
echo "Set Desktop resolution for CSGO...."
kscreen-doctor output.1.mode.3840x1080

echo "Run CSGO...."
#Flatpak package
/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=/app/bin/steam-wrapper --file-forwarding com.valvesoftware.Steam @@u %U @@~ steam://rungameid/730

#Distribution package
#steam steam://rungameid/730

echo "Waiting for game to start...."
sleep 10
PID=$(pgrep -x csgo_linux64)

echo "CSGO running as PID: $PID. Waiting for process to end...."
tail --pid=$PID -f /dev/null

echo "CSGO PID: $PID Ended. Setting Desktop Resolution back to original value...."
kscreen-doctor output.1.mode.5120x1440

echo "Closing...."

Set launch options in Steam:

-nojoy -novid -fullscreen -w 3840 -h 1080

Not the same game, but I get a very similar visual issue on some maps in TF2 (Linux version).

[alientek]

Why is this still an issue??

Ubuntu 21.10 & Nvidia 495 Driver.

[zombehsnail]

So, I went to check out if this problem is exist on windows. Surprise surprise, this problem is just linux related.

[zlittell]

Switching from Windows to Linux as primary OS and have run into this issue on 5120x1440 ultrawide. Can confirm it works just fine in windows 10.

[particledecay]

As an easy workaround, if you launch CSGO from Lutris you can set it to launch with 3840x1080 and it will automatically restore your desktop resolution when you exit the game.

[BOFH90]

With the latest update runnig CS:GO with the "-vulkan" option fixes the Problem for me :)

[knoopx]

adding -vulkan did not work for me. running @ 3840x2160 / 1.5 scaling.

[flo333]

-vulkan works for me, but it introduces other issues. The FPS look fine, but I get massive stutters intermittently.

works!

[dragonifnotifiswat]

Adding - Vulkan worked for me @ 5120x1440 but was stuttering to much so I switched back to 3840 , not an hardware issue since it was working well in windows. arch with driver 510.68.02-3

[kudos]

Stuttering seems to be really common with Vulkan games. Afaik it's building shaders, which it should only need to do once. If you stick with it, the stuttering should stop. It's a pain in the ass, but I'm living with it.

[CampGareth]

I also ran into this so switched to windowed mode. I noticed the problem kicks in at a window width of 4096 pixels or greater.

[relief-melone]

that issue has been open for 2 years and nothing at all happened :scream:

happened with me too. how did you deal with it?

[x86shell]

Hi all,

I switched from Windows to Pop a couple days ago and i've been having this issue. I've solved it with the following launch args

xrandr --output DP-4 --mode 5120x1440 --scale-from 1024x768 --rate 165.00; gamemoderun %command% -novid -full -w 768 -h 1024; xrandr --output DP-4 --mode 5120x1440 --scale 1x1 --rate 165.00 --dpi 96

You will need to replace the "output", "rate" and possibly DPI/Scale-from.

You can get the output and rate from running xrandr -q

DPI is accessed by running xdpyinfo | grep dots

You will need to remove the "gamemoderun" if you don't use Feral Interactives Gamemode application. Another thing you will need to disable is the HiDPI daemon. I can find this in my Gnome based DE within the display settings, both boxes need to be turned off.

I hope this helps :)
