1 year ago Today, I installed CSGO, and when I launch it, there's a black window that closes after 7-10 seconds.
With -novid and renaming the ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/csgo/panorama/videos folder, I managed to load the game to the state from the screenshots a couple of times, but immediately after that the window closed

1 year ago Disabling the steam overlay for the game helped me I played one game (or rather part of it, I didn’t know that friendly fire was on and stabbed an ally, got a kick and a game search ban for half an hour), everything seems to be fine

Oh my, players are remembering CS 1.6, what to do, what to do... (disables server discovery for 1.6 clients with some "very security micro patch") Whoopsie! I mean, the day is saved! badumm-tss!

1 year ago the problem is related with the steam overlay.
Try running the game with steam big picture
Prior to today's patch: with some effort I was able to play a bit with bots. With bad graphics, misaligned game window, etc-etc - but the game was somewhat playable.
Now: crash after black screen on game start.
I've tried too many options to make it work to list here, all futile.

@lindevel 's advice helped, by the way. Apparently, it's still difficult to bypass faulty media rendering in 2023 even if it affects absolutely nothing gameplay-wise. For the truth's sake, prior to July 21st update these background videos were rendering properly - and I don't remember any GPU driver and/or codec updates being shipped through Ubuntu's daily updates checkup...
