I recently set up 2 gaming VMs using libvirt KVM with GPU passthrough on my Ubuntu install so me and my girlfriend can use the same computer to play games when she comes over. I played a couple games of deathmatch and casual on this setup on cs2 and today I discovered I have been banned. This never caused any problems before on cs:go so I figured it’s fine as this isn’t specifically prohibited by valve either as far as I know.
Good to know. I was thinking about using my old RX 480 for Linux and an RX 6700 XT for VFIO passthrough. CS2 generally runs like crap, and even more so on Linux.
Please, keep us updated.
Yea will do, I guess I gotta wait patiently for when monday morning hits in bellevue for any chance of a response but I’m not counting on it as they get many people trying to contact them about false positives that are lying etc
Runs absolutely fine here @1440p. 6700xt also.
It’s something like a 20% performance hit using Vulkan on Linux vs DX on windows on the same hardware. So would make sense for somebody with weaker hardware to run it on windows instead if that brings the fps up to a playable amount.
That’s a huge hit, are you sure about it?
I’m absolutely sure. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/3325#issuecomment-1741578610
Oh wow, that’s a big drop indeed!
I also run 1440p. What FPS and settings do you have? For me, it’s between 100 and 250 FPS, with occasional stutters on almost the lowest settings. Way better than the 15s long freezes I was getting previously, but still not what I’d consider acceptable for a GPU this powerful.
This is the best command I’ve come up with after hours of experimenting:
VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json DISABLE_LAYER_AMD_SWITCHABLE_GRAPHICS_1=1 AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV MANGOHUD=1 %command% -novid -nojoy
Are you running it on a hdd or ssd? Had it first on my hdd and it ran like crap, after moving it to my ssd it runs like a charm with (mostly) no fps spikes (running an 6900xt though). I only have the bug that after playing one round i have to restart the game, otherwise the sound gets a >1 sec delay what is really annoying
Arch, 2080, 5900x, low settings except shadows, I don’t go below 200 fps. Are you using a compositor? Having picom running can mess with full screen apps
I use picom, but I have `unredir-if-possible = true`. The difference is obvious when I receive a notification. :D
