CS2 Linux: high vram usage causing models and textures to break after a few map loads

[sylveonsylvia]

system info: https://gist.github.com/sylveonsylvia/ae85dc0a89f18e7927effb2354a9e148

cs2 seems has a memory leak in vram causing the game to use up to 7gb of vram

eventually the game starts complaining about not having enough memory to stream textures in the console

and models to become tinted in either red or green

[sylveonsylvia]

this also happens on windows with the -vulkan flag

Might have a similar issue. First main menu loads fine, no errors in console, 60+ FPS. But if I load a map, then exit back to main menu it gets down to <10 FPS and the game prints a bunch of low VRAM errors in the console

I don't have such a drastic FPS drop but I also experience FPS going down slowly the more I play, after several minutes of gameplay I go from 200 FPS to just about 60

I have also just experienced this. Originally on Italy and then after the map changed to Office the problem occurred. Green or black textures on various models.

I've just experienced this as well. I have a 6GBs GPU (RTX 2060 Max-Q) and it looks like CS2 is using all of its VRAM, since I think the remaining 700-800MBs are reserved to the system.

yeah i have only issue with FSR not working actually.

[parona-source]

I experience this after one map. 8GB vram and 7.1-7.3 GB used. But as a bonus I see this artefact in my inventory as well in addition to the green textures.

GPU is RX 5700XT and mesa is 23.2.1

On medium and high settings, my RTX 2060 6GB VRAM usage is on 100% when CS2 being opened, it's kinda surprising because Dota 2's Vulkan doesn't have this issue, while on low, it hover around 60~70% VRAM usage

[cjvth]

Also get this problem. Last week I had only blurry textures for a moment when I turn and look at them. As you can see, textures were slowly disappearing during one deathmatch game

[OpenSauce04]

I have been seeing this issue almost every time I've played the game since launch after a session exceeds about an hour, maybe less.

I've most commonly seen this in the advanced video settings screen or on skins as seen in the comments above, but on a single occasion I saw a bunch of textures on Vertigo suddenly become yellow during a match. I also suspect it is the cause of huge 10-20 second lag spikes that happen every now and then where the framerate drops to about 15 and all of the textures rapidly change between their low quality and high quality versions, with warnings about lack of VRAM in the console

[sylveonsylvia]

as of a recent update, the model issue seems to be fixed but the game still sometimes complains about being out of memory for streaming

Same issue. Fedora 39, Mesa 23.2.1 - 5700xt

Nuke vents are impossible to navigate a few rounds into a match because it's solid black.

[ZeroYamaoka]

Still there is problems with High Vram usage RX7600

[SolsticeSpectrum]

Latest update fixed this issue for me

[kisak-valve]

Closing as the misrendering appears to be resolved. There's multiple other issue reports tracking the game's VRAM usage.
