Why do I feel like giving this a month will make all of this irrelevant?
I get it, your favorite game doesn't work because of a new release. It happens. Take a ticket and sit down for a while. Valve isn't omniscient about every Linux build in existence or possible glitch on the first week of release.
Hell, TF2 has been broken on arch for almost a month without bypassing a .dll file.
I remember when games launched and generally could be expected to run, because easy patching wasn't a thing yet. They had to make sure that the games worked.
I don't like that this has moved to "well, it's just the first day, week, month, give them time to fix the game." No! When the game releases and people pay money for it, it should work!
oh you mean back in the day when games were way simpler? come on man games these days are so much more complex.
We are talking about Counter Strike. Nothing has fundamentally changed in 2 decades.
Which no one asked for.
If you’re asking me if I would rather play the game I bought or not play the game that looks pretty and lose the game I bought, the answer is simple.
I never complained about a lack of changes for two decades. CS:GO worked perfectly well for me as-is. And because I’m a mac user, I’ve now lost matchmaking in a game i did pay for.
We are talking about Counter Strike 2, a complete rewrite of the game's code for a new game engine. EVERYTHING has fundamentally changed over the last year.
To be fair, at the time games were made to target a single system, not a myriad of them.
it wouldn’t be an issue if you could still play CSGO in the meantime. They removed a game that was working for some, and put in one that isn’t working in its place lol
you can, it's in CS2s beta channel
Thank you! I have enabled it, another 12 GB space to be able to play, I'll see if it will work. Edit: it only starts CS2.
No matchmaking. Not playing bots thanks lol
