Hopefully they'll sort it soon. ** PM_MOAR_NUDES You know the workaround? It’s easy to use, but it’s just beyond me that valve hasn’t just spent five minutes fixing this ** Firelfyyy I think so, care to share anyway. Haven't actually bothered using it. ** kkdarknight [1]https://github.com/ericek111/linux-csgo-downloadf- ixer [1] https://github.com/ericek111/linux-csgo-downloadfixer ** PM_MOAR_NUDES It’s painless to use I am out and about so I’ll forget to find a link but it is shared in one of the github bug tracker page for that isseu ** klinch3R If you remind me in like 1 hour i can post a link to it. ** whatyourereferringto This update almost made me want to reinstall but I'll wait until this is fixed ** PM_MOAR_NUDES Oddly there is a workaround created by a guy that makes cheats for csgo ** whatyourereferringto I've used that before but it's a little bit pathetic this bug hasn't been fixed after 4+ years ** PM_MOAR_NUDES True ** ericek111 Hey, my cheats are just a proof-of-concept! :) ** TheSilentLink This is great news! It finally fixes the bug where one core was stuck at 100% all the time. ** Firelfyyy Fuck I have to check this out! ** dirtkiller23 I had like 60 average fps(ulletical's benchmark map) on Scaleform,and panorama was on 45 av.fps.After this patch,i'm hitting constant 60 fps. ** Firelfyyy Good to know! I play c's pretty competitively so I have a pretty beastly gaming pc yet having slightly less fps on Linux than windows bothered me. ** Nakrule18 I just switched from windows to Linux and have only 100FPS (240 before) on CSGO. Any idea what I’m doing wrong ? I use an Optimus laptop with the latest nvidia driver and bumblebee. ** Firelfyyy Make sure compositing is turned off before launching cs. Should do it automatically. Make sure you have the latest driver. Optimus shouldn't have such a large perf hit so maybe not that. Possibly your CPU isn't boosting as much under Linux. Cs is very CPU based so having high individual core counts can help heaps. ** Nakrule18 I will try this tonight, thank you. It is definitely not a CPU issue (Razer Blade 2018 with six physical cores). In fact I was wondering if my laptop was using the Nvidia card or the Intel IGP, as 100FPS when playing CS with the lowest settings in 1024x768 should not be possible with a GTX1060. ** Firelfyyy Individual core speeds are more important, but 100fps is still pretty low so you're probably right there. But yeah if Optimus isn't working properly that sounds like a reasonable reason. ** Nakrule18 Do you know any way to check which card is being used while playing ? ** Firelfyyy No clue, don't play on laptops. Sorry! ** rebakis I hope so, Performance really suffered with the Panorama update. ** gandalfx Is boosting possible in casual now? That sounds dope! ** Firelfyyy Yup! ** jrwagh333 Any tips for improving performance in Linux? I have Ryzen 1600 @3.75Ghz. I used to get between 250-350fps in competitive. Using Linux that drops down to 120-200fps Currently using -high as a launch option and setting the CPU Guvnor in Terminal to performance ** TurnDownForTendies Still getting less performance than windows but this is significantly better than what it used to be for me. Maps used to have big fps drops and now its a lot smoother. ** Atexrs What about the bug I've had for years on gnome where alt tabbing causes the games aspect ratio and resolution to get fucked up. ** jensreuterberg Never had that problem myself, is it only on GNOME? And do you set resolution in like launch options? ** gandalfx The comment symbolizes everything I hate about the CSGO community: Always complaining. Valve could do nothing even a fraction as horrible as the constant bitching of people who want everything different but nothing changed. ** headless_cyborg I like every CSGO update, it always makes something better. I don't think I ever had a reason to complain. The best update was adding Linux support in 2014 of course :) ** jensreuterberg Or obsessing about gambling and pro teams or pro's doing things you'd expect pro's would do instead of talking about the game, tactics etc. ** 5had0w5talk3r Man, fuck you. You don't know me or my positions. All I've ever wanted was for Valve to stop regressing tech used in their games in the name of "competitive balance". Before you know it the game is going to be nothing but a glorified 1.6. Bring proper physics simulation back to games! ** Leopard1907 Positions?! That is just a fucking game , what kind of position a game can put you in? ** 5had0w5talk3r Your position on aspects of the game (things you like/dislike about and why). He's the one who bundled me in with his strawman, anyway. I don't understand why I'm getting shat on for saying I don't like the direction GO took CS in. It's just an opinion. ** Leopard1907 Of course it is an opinion and i respect it. However saying someone to fuck you because of a game is absurd. ** 5had0w5talk3r His attitude was completely abrasive. I don't like being shat on because I said I dislike his favourite game. ** headless_cyborg proper physics simulation For trolls who want to cover the bomb with a barrel? ** 5had0w5talk3r That was throwing the baby out with the bath water. There's a million and one was to fix the problem: make the bomb collideable with physics objects only, improve placement of physics objects, make the bomb LED glow through physics objects, etc. Instead Valve took the easy shitty path that makes the game less immersive. Besides, realistically, what are the chances that you can hide the bomb in a competitive match? You have 1:55min to take a site and plant the bomb, with 40sec to try to hide the bomb while (likely) down on men and defend the site against enemies who are going to be rushing you very soon. It's just not a realistic scenario. Games in general barely have any physics simulation at all compared to games from 10-15 years ago, which is deeply saddening and really ruins the immersion into the game world. A more accurate simulation of the world makes the game more realistic, thus more immersive, thus more fun.
