I Played Counter Strike 2 on the PS4. It's as bad as it Sounds. 

I tried some of your suggestions in the comments about kicking the bots and playing online, here's the follow up video with that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rlGrvKxgYtY.html

Damn, I wonder how the PC version of CSGO would have worked given CSGO itself was present on the Xbox 360

You can fix the console freezes by setting up a swap space. 16gbs for the swap size is best. It basically utilizes your HDD storage as "RAM" when the system RAM reaches 100%.

everything was running on cpu, i think thats why vram and GPU usage wasn't present. this is still a really cool video, thank you for this!

1:17 "Gotta move the mouse for good luck" this def. unlocked an old memory when I had a slow PC

You have to delete the videos folder in the panorama folder for cs2, as its rendering a full 2.5d map in the background aside from what you already play.

I love the suffering

Man, I remember when the PS4 was coming out and it was so immensely powerful and had perfect graphics. "I know people have said it before, but graphics can't get better than this."

This is the gaming on the family PC experience

Three basic CS things: Don't think you run this in full screen instead of fullscreen windowed... so it will drop frames. Loading a local game with bots is dropping frames with each bot. Playing online will probably get you 20-30 FPS . CSGO and (by and large) CS2 is CPU based. So technically more RAM would be better. Even on pc, console/launch commands like no_joy to improve performance. Killing unnecessary features

Great, trying play a PC game on a device that "not" meant to be for playing a pc games, but yea, gaming is gaming!

I love all the TF2 sounds they make me really crack up. Especially the Engineer scream when the frame times were at 6 seconds a frame.

Hi! I used to play cs2 on Linux, the audio problem might be because the game uses ALSA or some other lower level system directly by default instead of a higher level system like pipewire or pulseaudio, there is a command line argument to fix this, but I don't remember it right now

This was like every kids tablet after 1 week of internet access, slow but it works somehow

Such a well put together video, I enjoyed it a lot!

If there's any low-end PC configs for CS2, it'd be cool to see you incorporate those, like we're talking the maps literally look like N64/PS1 texture levels of low.

Now we just need it on the ps5

Knowing the ways of the almighty Linux, this might be because of gpu drivers being wrong. Also Linux version of CS2 works way worse than Windows one. Well, at least that was the case for me

the tf2 sound effects and music you use are so perfectly timed, big fan :)

Thank you so much dringus. Your videos are the reason I believe in the open source movement because only with the movement will stuff like this exist

Practice games are significantly more demanding because it's running bots off your cpu, and counter strike bots are demanding as hell, maybe if you tried an online game it would've worked better

inb4 someone else says this, but deathmatch with bots uses waaaay more resources than deathmatch with humans.

So cool that apparently you have gained more than 100k subs in the last 3 months, if the screenshot was correct in the end of the video! You deserve it, these videos truly are absolute gold, 5/5! :D ❤

Increase the audio output buffer size againt the crackling. CPU load being around 50% usually means that only half the CPU cores are being used.

There's something so nostalgic about running CS at less than 10 FPS.

should add on that running CS on linux will have a lot of shader compilation stuff. causes a lot of lag especially when doing new things in the game and in my experience will run every time you start the game. also bots are killing ur cpu

also i like how after the live stream convo you decided to make an entire video of pain and suffering bwahahaha, i super enjoyed it, very entertaining

ive actaully searched cs2 ps4 like 10 times since it came out and i thing ur the first person to actually try it

11:56 i feel like everyone has had that same redragon mouse at least once in their life. also, did you use fsr for the game?

Given your tests, I think Radeon drivers are not working and it is using LLVM to run the 3D on the CPU. You can check with glxinfo and vulkaninfo. But given you don't have multiple resolutions, it is also likely the GPU drivers are not installed on that distro. This runs Cyberpunk at 30ish, which on a PC that does not can run CS2 at 60 (i5-3470 + GTX660). Htop will say if it is a RAM problem. CS2 also has the bad habit of turning on FSR on unsupported GPUs, so one usually wants to turn that off or resolution will be lower without the perf benefits. I already tried CS2 on low end hardware on Linux and find these results strange. If anything, the CPU would be the main problem, as besides being slow, it is further hurt by higher latancy GDDR vs desktops.

You are kiddng me? The PS4 runs CS2 in CPU mode and not with GPU. Mangohud does not show you the GPU. Btw Right Shift F9 to 12 are settings for mangohud. Also Gamescope -h720 -H1080 means upscaling from 720p to 1080p. Great vid lad. Also Linux stuff will always upscale the video to the monitor in infinite resolution. This means I would go (1920x1080)/2 = 960d540p

Truly beatufiul, the brand new "conter-stirk 2" mod on Minecraft 2 looks incredible! Can't wait to try it out on my dusty retired PS4!

I remember in 2019 before I got a computer good enough to actually run csgo I wanted to put linux on my ps4. but then I looked up a video of the ps4 getting 16 fps on csgo. It doesn't even make sense how they make modern games run on that bad of hardware.

Imagine you're playing CS2 and the match is important to you, but your teammate says he's playing on PS4 💀

watching bringus probably the most interesting vid to watch right now because my fyp youtube is trash

I appreciate that you show us the pain of tinkering with stuff. Makes me feel like less of a brainlet.

Honestly if PlayStation actually released it as an official game with optimization, then 60fps would be an easy target for them. Sure they might have to build the game around a new engine but it’s durable for sure.

A perfect example how differently the same code can be translated on similar, but different platforms. Or how much optimization work being made on console versions of games, how much raw performance power PC games need to render pretty much the same games.

vram, also watching you restart so many times forced me into a ptsd episode from my many years or tinkering with linux and testing distros or having totally broken installs period. Thankfully these days its not so bad but damn 2013 nvidia users be like AGHAGHAGHAGH!

Should've also tried the "Legacy CS:GO" build on Source 1, just for clarity of experiment and more suffering of this lovely jank.

This audio reminds me of me trying to run animal crossing gamecube on my intel iris laptop with a 2.4 ghz CPU and 4 GB of ram back in like 2015. Good times, and 99% of the reason I got into hardware hacking!

If you use the internal HDD there could be some reading speed issues, the same for USB tbh

Yup, that audio crackling has been my experience trying to get Linux gaming to work for me. I can get virtually every game in my library to work on Linux (outside of the infamous anti-cheat games...), but no matter what I do, my audio does that *exact* same crackle. Some versions of WINE are somewhat better than others, but it's always present. Tried multiple distros, tinkering with various WINE settings, PulseAudio settings, different versions of display drivers, etc. So I guess Windows 11 will stick around on my system for a bit longer. Also, yeah, the shader compilation is a nightmare on Linux. Pretty much every game will have awful FPS for a while when you start it until it finishes its compilation. Proton takes some steps to help with this, but it's more or less unavoidable. And some games will just have that "slow" feeling. Overwatch 2, for example, supposedly ran at 120fps on my system, but it definitely did *not* feel like it. But on Windows, it feels like a completely different game because it actually is running at 120fps. I know this video is about the PS4, but it just reminded me of all the quirks I've also encountered on PC trying to get Linux gaming to work for me.

If it can launch doom, it can launch anything

Now im curious about 1.6

Subbed after I heard that Sonic R tune during the overclock

Fun fact: CS:GO was ported to the PS3 and Xbox 360 back in the day, the PS3 port even had Steam integration (like the old non big picture Shift-Tab menu but console) and Steam crossplay was promised but never came. Same thing for Portal 2, but Steam crossplay was added there. Fun fact: The PS3 Steam integration no longer works, except the news tab! You can still access the game news for both CS2 and Portal 2.

Almost 100% sure that dedicated gpu drivers were not loaded. If you checked neofetch or something it would show llvmpipe or no gpu.

the worst thing is that this runs better than my actual pc

never thought this video would happen, amazing work!!!

9:44 This issue is because Lxqt (the destop enviroment that you used in the video) uses the openbox windows manager,and that windows manager has bugs with steam. A easy fix is to install Kwin,go to your menu then go to settings and click on session,then select kwin_x11 under the window manager tab. After selecting kwin you will need to restart or log out.

wow my pc its ps4

2:10 actually a really good segue, well played

Your videos are great I can’t get enough keep it going

Maybe using FSR on cs2 would have helped?

Like it or not this is what peak gaming looks like

with how low the ram is thats probably why performance got better when playing for longer periods ram loads in textures and when its done loading them it usually improves performance, this is the case for every game but if you have say 64gb of ram, don't even worry bout it

Amazingly cursed level of banging through launch 😂

it could be interesting to try connecting to a local server hosted on ur pc on ur ps4. then you're not running client and server instances so it could increase framerate

Honestly CSGO when it first dropped for the PS3 wasn't THAT bad. I'm sure it wasn't "good" compared to the pc version but it was actually a pretty fun time to be around.

good content dude keep it up!

Finally actually good sponsor segment

I think it will end up on the ps5 but not the 4, considering csgo was playable on the xbox 360 and ps3 makes me guess valve will find a way to optimize it for ps5 and xbox Series

Typical Russian CSGO gameplay.

That dank pods inspired intro

Bro!!! The android logo on the iphone😂😂😂

The ram usage is high due to vram overflow into system ram, had you played with 4gigs of vram you would have most likely had better performance. That said I dont know how much ram cs2 needs so it may still run like molasses. Edit, this is windows default behavior so it may not apply to Linux, however as its a mildly easy and intelligent optimization I expect its a similar process there.

Gamin dankpods????????

5:18 You thought we wouldn't recognize the 'New Power!' jingle from the 2005 Madagascar video game.... but you were WRONG :)

banging off the rev limiter had me dying. i was crying

I loved when Bringus said “It’s bringus time” and bringused all over the place. Beautiful. Truly.

The "OH WERE BANGING OFF THE REV LIMITER" fucking sent me

are you able to solder on ram? like gpus?

0:31 WOW! That's cool feature of this video!

your second doom toaster video can be about putting chimeraos on it , you would be surprised what a 50 dollar pi can do now a days

Perhaps you could try a PS4 Pro and see if you can get the latest mesa drivers installed.

If you click on the features of the game and enter the betas section, you can select CS:GO and play CS:GO. Can you try this too?

Can you turn that PS4 into retro emulation station?

sneakiest product ad placement ever

Was that can you feel the sunshine from sonic r near the end?

I loved the feeling of a centipede crawling around in my ear while watching this.

Should have tried kicking the bots lol. This is awesome tho 😂 the red dragon mouse man noooooo 😂

Was NOT ready for the madagascar jumpscare at 5:17

the dankpods influence is so real

"Were banging off the rev limiter" Was the best LMAOOOOOOOOO

If it was possible for having the proper gpu drivers it would more than likely run better

Its been so long since i laughed this hard to a youtube video lmao, amazing video man

I would love to do that with the series s, is that possible being a person that knows nothing about code and stuff?

bro these tf2 sound effects make me feel like its 2015 i love it

is it using vulkan software implementation?

lol where did you get the buff terrorist photo from? (4:52)

You should try running aperture desk job on this ps4 lol.

What's the overlay CPU and GPU info progam called please?

Off topic but nice choice of mouse Redragon Centrophorus mice are great for being cheap.

Can you have Mangohud show the mesa version? I wonder if its using the wrong driver. AMDGPU-pro allegedly supports the PS4's GPU, but that isn't the best driver for gaming.

I feel like this is the setup that people are rocking when they complain about source games performing bad😂

I recently got a new (very budget) PC but the GPU came in late, so I had to use a i5-7500 integrated GPU, I was still able to get over 60fps in CS2 720p low, I'm amazed that almost 7 year old iGPU preforms better than this.

Someone PLEASE remind me what that song is / song is from at 0.15s! It hit me in my nostalgia!

You had me at John Wilkes Boof.

Oh look, a new video Bringus on
