-gl -gl_enablesamplerobjects
The game didn't start up. Solved by adding -gl -gl_enablesamplerobjects in launch options. See: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8472
CSS is natively supported
No tinkering required since valve has made this game natively compatible

Fonts render differently than they did on Windows, but that's a minor issue.
You are forced to run the Native version, because you cannot join the VAC secured servers if playing on Proton. Overall, runs better than on Windows!
gamescope -w 2560 -h 1440 -f -r 155 --force-grab-cursor -- %command%
Initially opened in 1080 x 1440. Had to use gamescope to get proper resolution
Since servers have updated due to the 64bit patch everything has been good.
Multiplayer worked just as it did on Windows
The game works as intended, just amek sure you go to Properties > Compatibility > and then force "Proton Experimental" instead of Steam Linux Runtime. Otherwise, it may crash/not launch.
Loading...
Es gracioso como un juego nativo ni siquiera arranca, ya probe todos los Proton y tuve pequeños avances pero a verdad que se termina Crasheando por completo, el Counter Strike (1.6) támbien.
LD_PRELOAD=$LD_PRELOAD:/usr/lib32/libjemalloc.so.2 %command%
Good until now, have to wait for servers to get updated after the most recent patch.
Installed all the missing dependencies shown by ldd and used execstack -c bin/engine.so on the engine to get it to start. Been a while so i don't fully recall what I did, but it wasn't difficult. You'll find out.
Works great, except for the servers on most recent patch.
Works but needs an update
Broke most of the servers due to update, you need to wait until servers get updated
There was an update yesterday that seemed to have fixed most of the issues but now you can't connect to any server due to the version mismatch
Run the game in the Legacy Runtime (1.0)
Crash on startup
Won't start at launch on most Linux operating systems, but can be fixed by switching to the legacy steam linux runtime.
instantly crashes as of like a week or two ago
used to work perfectly idk what happened
worked fine until a few days ago, now it wont start
No clue why. I've tried the fixes from other reports but I havent been able to fix it.
The game wouldn't launch with the native Steam client because of an issue with the malloc lib the game uses. A common solution is to install it from the AUR and copy the installed lib to the game's directory, but it still wouldn't launch for me. The only way I got the game working was using the Flatpak client.
No need to download 8GB for halflife 2.
deb/buntu's
sudo apt install lib32-gperftools (might be called something different haven't used deb based in a while)
Arch
yay -Syu lib32-gperftools
cp /usr/lib32/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4.5.16 ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike\ Source/bin/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4
Change ~/.local/share/Steam to /locationofsteamlibrary/SteamLibrary/ if installed on a different drive.
voice chat button crashes game
see above
TO FIX GAME CRASH/CRASHING WHEN USING VOICE CHAT:
a) Install Half Life 2 b) Copy "libmimalloc.so" from Half-Life 2/Bin into a new location and rename it "libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4" c) Copy this new file and paste it into /Counter-Strike Source/Bin d) Overwrite the file.
I'd also suggest making a copy of the original libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 in CSS/Bin before you overwite it, but it's up to you. That's it - Enjoy! Credit to this guide on steam: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3395050010
Voice Chat/Microphone crashes game
Crashes when using microphone or Voice Chat
Fix required for microphone/voice chat to work and not crash game
Runs native, and runs it perfectly
Was able to connect and interact with map and players
There are literally no issues at all, the game works flawlessly.
multiplayer, creating servers and playing on servers works flawlessly without issue. The only issue I have is pressing my voice key crashes the game an d I'm unsure why. None of my other friends have this issue on Linux though, so I believe it's my own fault.
Works out of the box. No tinkering required.
Multiplayer worked without any issues. Joined several servers, played for hours without any instability.
The game runs flawlessly and as it would on Windows. No quirks, inconsistencies, or other problems that I could find.
Native support and works right out of the box.
Counter-Strike: Source works right out of the box because it has native support. In a worse scenario, you can run the Windows version with Proton or Wine, but I haven't dealt with that issue.
Works OTB native
In-game text rendering is odd, some elements don't display at all.
Sensitivity from windows had to be significantly lowered (about half)
hl_linux is not responding Paste this into your console: gsettings set org.gnome.mutter check-alive-timeout 60000
Defective some fonts
KDE + NVIDIA + Wayland need to add nvidia.NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0 along with the nvidia_drm.modeset=1, tested on proprietary driver.
nvidia.NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0 (Kernel cmdline)
Some character not showing in custom usernames of people.
From previous experiment with Wayland vs X11, adding the kernel parameter nvidia.NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0 will prevent the issue where frames stuters under Wayland + KDE + Nvidia. This most likely is the bug most people reported to NVIDIA about the GSP firmware. It also allows for better DE smoothness aswell.
If it is too much just launch the game under X11.
Looks even better than it does on Windows, no exaggeration
Amazing support for locally hosting servers
The best online FPS of all time works amazing on Linux, looking even better than on Windows... somehow.
Works Great
When launching on native, it shows that im missing some utf-8 stuff but i just click OK and the game plays fine
it has some errors but they dont affect anything at all. Works Great, 10/10.
If you are running Native open a session to X11 to play this
Laggy inputs under Wayland
Slow frames when running under Wayland, X11 works flawless
Either Wayland is just plain slow or the native build as some performance issue under it.
Works out of the box
It all works but it is a pain to set up if you don't know what's missing. I had to manually install i386-linux-gnu with libtcmalloc etc...
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libtcmalloc.so.4 %command%
When exiting the game, you cannot return. The screen becomes stretched and I have to restart every time.
Multiplayer works just fine
LAN works fine
