Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Tried to launch CS:GO (as usual), and received the following error in a Steam pop-up window:

An error occurred while updating Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (missing executable): /cliff/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/csgo.sh See the Steam support site for more information

Here is the resulting terminal output:

I've tried all of the following:

1. Updated system
2. Updated Steam client
3. Cleared Steam's download cache
4. Verified CS:GO's local files
5. Re-installed Steam
6. Re-installed CS:GO (and verified local files again).

I have the same issue. Did you found anything @CliffyPoo ?

I have the same issue. Did you found anything @CliffyPoo ?

I just did some more searching and ran across this Reddit thread https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/tcifq1/i_keep_getting_a_missing_executable_error_when_i/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

and found this comment:

`OK. I figured it out.

I uninstalled all my games and uninstalled Steam. I then reinstalled steam. I then installed Tabletop Simulator, and it finally installed the Linux version.

I also enabled "Steam Play for supported tiles", and I made sure to keep Proton disabled.`

So I just did the same thing; although, when doing this, I realized that "sudo apt remove steam" did not delete all of the files, and I had to manually delete everything before reinstalling.

I now have the necessary executable and required associated files, although the game still would not launch.

Then I found this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/qbko9i/ubuntu_2110_csgo_crash/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 and the libtcmalloc fix allows me to launch.

Good luck!
