Why do I feel like giving this a month will make all of this irrelevant?

but this is a crime against God, humanity, gaming and anime!!!!

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.

... in cs2 the smoke is physics based particles that can be moved with bullets or grenades. That tech alone is very complex and the calculations need more modern hardware. Not to mention the dynamic shadows and graphics overhaul.

[-] acastcandream@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] MJBrune@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

That's simply moving the goal posts. "There hasn't been a change for over 2 decades" - "here is a bunch of changes they actually did" - "NO ONE ASKED FOR THEM!" like what kind of argument is that?

Also if you bought CSGO and are expecting to play it, it's long been gone. It went free to play, even before that they had pretty big gameplay changes like being able to bring in different weapons. Updates to the game have been made. Negev is now a bullet laser! There is a revolver! The M4A1-s exists!

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.

Yeah, the Mac issue is a concern. Surprisingly, Valve dropped that without warning. CS2 being a free upgrade to CSGO was touted for a while. It's almost impossible to miss if you play CSGO. The issue is that you bought into a game knowing it was a GAAS game and you expected it to never change for the worse. If you played CSGO for any length of time you'll remember weekends of one-shot kill revolvers and 2 hit-kill deagles. So clearly, it's not out of scope for Valve to push an update to break things. Maybe you'll get a Mac version back, or maybe they'll put back the matchmaking servers. Maybe you'll find that GAAS games are terrible for the gaming ecosystem and will abandon them. Lots of solutions here, only one path you control.

Overall CS2 is getting good-ish reviews. So it's unlikely you'll get CSGO fully back.

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.

[-] DarkenLM@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

To be fair, at the time games were made to target a single system, not a myriad of them.

[-] acastcandream@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] aplomBomb@midwest.social 7 points 1 year ago

you can, it's in CS2s beta channel

[-] ritchie@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] acastcandream@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago

No matchmaking. Not playing bots thanks lol
