csgo only launches from command line linux with limited functionality

[human664]

Your system information

• Steam client version (build number or date): 16686545564
• Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): manjaro
• Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] no
• Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] yes, same issues before and after

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

when launched through steam-runtime nothing will happen but occasionally a black screen, when launched through steam-native, with flags -nojoy and -windowed it will launch and will make it to main menu most of the time, random crashes from there,(checking score board on the off chance it let me join a community server, clicking too fast in menu, connecting to some servers, loading workshop maps) when run from command line outside of steam with i386 bash ./csgo.sh -nojoy -windowed game works as expected but without vac, but can load maps without crashing unlike steam-native.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

assuming its b

1. launch steam-runtime, launch csgo, nothing happens
2. launch steam-native, csgo will launch to black screen when -nojoy and -windowed flags are included
3. attempt to connect to game, some work shop maps will work, vac secure servers will not, connecting to community servers fails

@human664 - You should be able to launch CSGO via command line outside of steam as long as you include -steam in the string.

e.g.: i386 bash ./csgo.sh -steam -nojoy -windowed

it was working through steam about a week ago, doesnt work again, i386 bash ./csgo.sh -steam -nojoy -windowed does not work either same errors SDL video target is 'x11' SDL failed to create GL compatibility profile (whichProfile=0!

Can confirm, this is an issue for me too.

Edit: I wrote a script to workaround the issue for now - https://gist.github.com/sm9cc/addf48def898bb2be72cba36e16d6f5a

Hi @sm9cc, can you clarify if you are placing that shell script in the Global Offense directory? I do not have a csgo.sh in my install directory. I have a .exe .local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/csgo.exe but no csgo.sh.

I have the same issue as David-Durst. I'd like to still play CSGO on Linux, but I can't seem to figure it out. I have tried using Proton 4.13 which uses the scout runtime, but that still didn't work. Thanks for any help.

[whompyjaw]

I tried to add .exe, but it did not work:

declare -gr CSGO_LAUNCHER_PATH="/home/${USER}/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/csgo.exe"

# Game arguments
declare -gr CSGO_ARGS="-steam -console -novid -nojoy -tickrate 128 +fps_max 0"

function launch_csgo() {
    if [ -x "${CSGO_LAUNCHER_PATH}" ]; then
        export STEAM_RUNTIME=1
        i386 "${CSGO_LAUNCHER_PATH}" ${CSGO_ARGS}
    else
        echo "CSGO launcher '${CSGO_LAUNCHER_PATH}' not found."
        exit 1
    fi
}

launch_csgo

But this doesn't work. How am I suppose to call it?

[whompyjaw]

This is the error I get when I try ./csgo.sh place in my ~/ directory.

Hi @sm9cc, can you clarify if you are placing that shell script in the Global Offense directory?

The script can actually be located anywhere you prefer, but personally, I keep it in my home directory under Scripts, like this: ~/Scripts/LaunchCSGO.sh.

I do not have a csgo.sh in my install directory. I have a .exe

To resolve this, under Compatibility please uncheck the option that says, 'Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool.' Otherwise, the game files will be the Windows version, which is not what you want.

Next, go to the 'Betas' tab and select 'csgo_demo_viewer - 1.38.7.9.' and let Steam download everything again.

Once that's complete, you should be all set.

If you wish to play both CSGO and CS2 simultaneously, keep your game on that branch. Don't worry; CS2 will continue to update itself automatically even while you're on that branch (in case you decide to play it). To play CS2, simply launch the game through the Steam client as usual. To play CSGO, use the provided script.

Hope that helps!

I made a tutorial too.
