This just seems odd to me. I know it’s a competitive game, and most folks will be playing with a mouse and keyboard, but it feels weird for Valve to put out a brand new game (built from scratch, at that) and not plan for this.

It looks like people are having some success, based on the posts at Proton-DB. I think that rating it as Gold is a little too charitable, though. Lots of people having control, audio, and visual issues.

I got it working on my tv, sound works just had to change it from default to HDMI 2 which is where it's going on my tv.

I'm using the steam controller and it works fine.

When I launched it, it was very slow. But I stuck with it for a bit and it picked up and became smooth enough to play. I don't know the exact fps but I won a bot match and for me that's actually pretty good 😂.

I think there might have been a sneaky steamdeck update. I'm playing on stable and cs2 2000142/13948

Playing on high graphics.

I wonder if it was prepping the shaders, hence the initial slowness.

I very much think that's the case. Will probably happen for every new level. I did have a bit of a hiccup sometimes but I think it'll be ironed out

Has anyone tested this on a Steam Deck yet and can report it's performance?

[–] grooving@lemmy.studio 1 points 2 years ago

It says it's playable. Just had some small text apparently. I'm trying to install it but steam is being weird telling me I have no Internet connection lol.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Counter-Strike 2, the highly anticipated upgrade for CS:GO, has finally arrived.

After years of rumors, Valve announced CS2 in March and opened up a limited test.

The updated game is based on Valve’s Source 2 engine, giving the game a much-needed facelift, reworked audio, UI enhancements, and upgraded Community Workshop tools.

There’s even a new “tick-rate-independent gameplay” that Valve describes as a way for servers to “know the exact instant that motion starts, a shot is fired, or a ‘nade is thrown.”

You can download the 27GB CS2 for free from Steam, with its listing directly replacing the more than 10-year-old CS:GO.

All of the items you’ve collected in CS:GO will be available in CS2, while stock weapons will also get an enhanced look thanks to the Source 2 engine.
