Hey all, hoping that someone else might be able to shed some light on this particularly strange issue I’ve been experiencing. When playing CS, I typically get between 500-600 FPS and have a super smooth experience.

Recently, after about fifteen or twenty minutes of playing, my game will suddenly have the frame variance spike to 10-20 ms, FPS drops to 250-300, and everything feels like I’m playing at 10 FPS due to the stuttery mess the game becomes. The issue goes away immediately upon restarting the game. Weirdly enough, I have noticed after the issue starts that if I open the in-game console, everything behaves normally until I close the console again.

Any advice anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated; here’s the specs for my system:

      I discovered the same thing; fortunately the game crash that was caused by having the overlay enabled seems to have been fixed, so enabling the Steam overlay seems to be the best recommendation to make now. Thanks for the suggestion!

        sounds like we were on very similar paths trying to get this game to run smoothly, lol.

        if you haven’t already, highly recommend replacing libdxvk_d3d9.so in [csgo]/bin/linux64 with its updated replacement from dxvk-native-steamrt-sniper. ironed out my stuttering
