Problem description

CSGO will not launch, and will be stuck on a black screen.

i think these logs might help, i ran steam using the cli:

Does this issue reproduce with native Steam

It's broken for a different reason. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/2651 this fixed it on fedora https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/2651#issuecomment-966213816 / https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/2659#issuecomment-1081135949

This also happens to me.

[JonasKnarbakk]

Still an issue for me as well. In reference to already mentioning it in #812

[GenocideStomper]

Does anyone have a fix for this issue? I have the black screen issue in the flatpak version as well and the native version doesn't work for me anymore too: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/2651 https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/2815

Edit: Pop!_OS 21.10 Nvidia GPU

Looking back I think the problem actually might be

Looks like CSGO is a hot mess on Linux in general. Absolutely disappointing by Valve.

It's also broken on normal steam too, although for a different reason https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/2651, and there is a fix https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/2651#issuecomment-966213816 / https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/2659#issuecomment-1081135949

It looks like it's related to Real-time priority permission.

There is a Real-time portal, however I'm not certain its related to this.

Even after a fresh install of Fedora 36 it doesn't work. Its probably an issue with CSGO as no other games have the same problem
