Hello,

I tried to jump over to KDE from gnome yesterday and have experienced a lot of issues in CS2. Maybe I am missing some shared libs or anything, if you know of fixes to the following issues I would love to hear them :)

  • Every so often my screen goes black while playing cs2. It remains black for a few seconds before coming back alive.

  • My KDE panels are appearing Infront of CS2 every time I alt tab and the only way to fix it is to go into settings and go > Windowed > back to Fullscreen.

I am running endeavourOS Nvidia 545.29.06 on a GTX 1070ti

Thank you

Do you have a VRR monitor? Nvidia 545 has a VRR regression that causes this exact black screen issue. 550 beta drivers fix this.

Thank you! I will keep an eye for the stable release.

Yes. I have a freesync monitor so it very well might be this issue.

As a a quick test, go into the Nvidia control panel and under OpenGL settings disable G-sync. If the problem goes away then you're affected by the VRR regression.
