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

For the panels issue, you can launch CS2, press Alt+F3 to open the window settings, go to configure special app settings, then set an option for the app so that it always launches in fullscreen mode.

I also added a shortcut to make games fullscreen by pressing Ctrl+Enter.

I believe this is a bug with KDE and should be reported to them. The same issue is reported on Valve's repository but nothing has been done from Valve's side to fix this issue.

EDIT: link for relevant issue: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/3274

the workaround is written in one of the comments:

  1. Open CS2
  2. Press Alt+F3
  3. Click on "More actions"
  4. Click on "Configure special applications settings"
  5. Add a property
  6. Select "Fullscreen" (click on the "+")
  7. Select "Force" and "yes" for the "Fullscreen" parameter
  8. Click on "Ok" (apply and close)
