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)
