I just installed CS2 in my linux system. When i am running the game , after a while it pops a window with this error. I already have installed mesa-vulkan-drivers , mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386

Command: vulkaninfo --summary

There is a thread here with the same error , but this didn't help me . I dont think this solution will fix my problem cause my system is fresh installed

Having the same issue. Using proton works but isn't a smooth experience (lag spikes, unacceptable framerates, ...).

unfortunately your GPU is too old for Vulkan 1.3 so cs2 can't launch since it required Vulkan 1.3 compatible GPU
