So ill admit, CS2 never ran perfectly in windows either, and with everything having to be “shiny” and new all the time and with updates the game was bound to get laggy.

However I do wonder, is it the fault of my 15 year old amd fx cpu, or is it linux? I have a RX6700 gpu which should be plenty overkill for cs2. But ive heard cs2 is processor heavy. Im also still on ddr3, 32 gb.

Should have said its an 8 core fx black edition, its one of the best one they made (8350)

Also, I dont think all my ram sticks match exactly so I may check that. But yeah it seems its just way too old. Alan wake 2 wont even launch on it.

    1000% agreed; it’s not terribly risky in the general case.

    But I don’t want to mislead anyone into getting their bank account stolen if they like to hang out on russian warez sites.

      Oh for sure. I wasn’t disagreeing with the warning, just providing some context so people can judge the risk.

      It isn’t like you were telling them to install Shockwave Flash or anything 😂
