In case you encounter a VAC verification issue.
- Steam -> CSGO -> properties -> betas (chose the newest one “1.38.3.6 - 1.38.3.6”) if no download happens, choose demo.
- launch the game. Since I chose demo, I couldn’t launch the game.
- close the game
- Steam -> CSGO -> properties -> betas (chose the actual patch “NONE”) That works for me, hope it will work for you too! 🙂
I play csgo on Linux and get this once in awhile. Restarting steam tends to fix the issue.
Can confirm, Steam restart unfucks the game.
I had the error on a brand new PC with a fresh install lol.
Had that on Garuda, reboot, restarting steam, even booting into debian didn’t fix it. (Debian with totally different user directory and everything)
Then about a week later I put in a ticket with valve, was told to open a ticket on their GitHub for Linux, and before I could do that, the issue magically resolved itself. Very strange.
