CSGO launch on Pop_OS 22.04 freezes with a black screen on launch. It must be force-killed with pkill -9 csgo. In the terminal, a memory allocation bug is reported:

memory allocation bug: object at 0x7fdcefe58f40 has never been allocated

At this point, the process appears frozen, and must be killed with pkill -9 csgo.

If I instead run with gdb, via DEBUGGER=gdb ./csgo.sh -novid -nojoy, I do not see memory allocation bug printed, but I do get the following backtrace: see full log at https://gist.github.com/compumike/601dd10af4e619caca3b3d70bbe16ca8

Please note that I have already placed the libtcmalloc as shown:

sudo apt install libtcmalloc-minimal4
cd ~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/bin
cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcmalloc_minimal_debug.so.4.5.9 libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0
cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcmalloc_minimal_debug.so.4.5.9 libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4
cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcmalloc_minimal_debug.so.4.5.9 linux64/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0
cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcmalloc_minimal_debug.so.4.5.9 linux64/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4

Unfortunately I have not seen any other bug reports mentioning the word memory allocation bug so I am not sure where to investigate next. Thank you for your assistance.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Launch steam from console with steam -h
2. Click "Play" on CSGO

Switched from deb (steam:i386 1:1.0.0.74-1pop1~1644936575~22.04~6d77918) to flatpak (com.valvesoftware.Steam 1.0.0.74) and it works now.

Feel free to close. :smile:
