Hello,
I tried to jump over to KDE from gnome yesterday and have experienced a lot of issues in CS2. Maybe I am missing some shared libs or anything, if you know of fixes to the following issues I would love to hear them :)
-
Every so often my screen goes black while playing cs2. It remains black for a few seconds before coming back alive.
-
My KDE panels are appearing Infront of CS2 every time I alt tab and the only way to fix it is to go into settings and go > Windowed > back to Fullscreen.
I am running endeavourOS Nvidia 545.29.06 on a GTX 1070ti
Thank you

Sounds like a compositor issue. Look up your issues more generally with KDE instead of focusing on CS2 directly. There are some tweaks you can make with the full screen compositor that can make your experience better. Also try full screen vs windowed settings modes and see if you get any difference.
I haven’t noticed any issues with a 1080 using i3, so this definitely seems like a KDE issue. Are you getting desktop notifications when it goes black?
Do you have a VRR monitor? Nvidia 545 has a VRR regression that causes this exact black screen issue. 550 beta drivers fix this.
Thank you! I will keep an eye for the stable release.
Yes. I have a freesync monitor so it very well might be this issue.
As a a quick test, go into the Nvidia control panel and under OpenGL settings disable G-sync. If the problem goes away then you’re affected by the VRR regression.
