 Posted: Wed Mar 16, 2022 10:31 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] by using steam-overlay. Cannot launch CS:GO |
 |
|
I am new to Linux gaming. Should I install Steamcmd or the steam-overlay? As the later is from external repositories, I prefer the former one. And Steamcmd seems more lightweight. But it did not work.
I was playing Counter-Strike Global Offensive on Windows with Steam. I have emerged games-server/steamcmd. /opt/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh itself seems working fine. I can login to my steam account. Then I do not know which one to download from the Steam Application IDs list, 740 or 730? 740 is having a dedicated server, so I tried 740 first but it failed to start. Then I downloaded 730 also and it fails to start too.
Starting 740 gives the following outputs. And it halts at the last line. No game is started. I have to exit it by Ctrl+c.

In another konsole, I have already logged into Steam in the /opt/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh. It is strange that it says No Steam account token was specified. Do I have to add some options when calling game shell script?
Then I tried to launch 730. It failed with the following error.

How can I launch the game?
Thank you very much in advance.

Are the .so files present that are giving you problems?
I'm not familar with SteamCMD, but by looking at the output, it seems that the program is not able to find all the required libraries.

This also looks odd.
It seems you can attempt logging in to your account by doing
More on that can be found at the official documentation. https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD?CachedSimilar8#SteamCMD_Login
Steam from steam-overlay might have more dependencies and be more heavy on the system but will look & function the same as it did for you on Windows.
They state on the SteamCMD wiki that it's main use should be to handle game servers. If you're new to Linux gaming, I think you'd have better time with steam-launcher from steam-overlay. |

You should not install steamcmd.
You should install games-util/steam-meta from steam-overlay.
Then you can login to steam and install CS:GO.
If you installed steam-meta with steamruntime useflag on, you're done, you can play.
If steamruntime useflag is off, then you must install required libraries using games-util/esteam from steam-overlay. |

Thank you Irets for trying to help. Yup I did login <name> in one Konsole and tried to start the game in another Konsole. Like someone else on the Internet says that another Konsole would be smart enough to retrieve my login. But it turns out the game could not even start. Anyway I gave up on SteamCMD and installed steam-overlay. It is fine now. After some fixes about the drivers, CS:GO runs smoothly.
Thank you netfab for the advice. Yup I installed all of them. And CS:GO runs smoothly now.
For your information I was having the font problem that text was not displaying at the login dialogue box. There is a fix in the troubleshooting.
text was not displaying at the login dialogue box:

Hope this may help someone.
