Counter Strike Source stutter

sinisab89 · 01-07-2020, 02:17 AM

Hello!
Anyone here plays Counter Strike Source on Linux?
I have a strange problem with this game and this game only. When I'm playing it stutters a lot. Strange thing is it only stutters when there's a lot shooting around, it feels like it is stuttering in sync with shooting sounds. FPS is almost always 120+. It doesn't drop or anything when stuttering happens. Only way I can fix this is to turn V-Sync on but anyone who ever played this game knows that it's almost impossible to aim from a massive input lag it introduces into the game.
I tried other Source engine games like L2D4 and Half Life 2 and they work perfectly fine on highest settings. Here's my inxi -Fxz:

Does anyone know what can be the issue here?

I have some problems with counter strike on linux too ;\ I think that this OC is just not built for gaming. If you wanna play games, just install Windows and you won't have any problems. At least I did that and everything is really fine! I have recently ordered a rank boost from , and now I am enjoying the game. I think that this is the best option, and I would recommend you doing exactly the same thing. It's much better than struggling with linux. There is a much simpler option.

it kinda feels better than windows.

Yeah, I had similar problems with CSGO on Linux.
