Windows 10: pts/csgo-1.6.0 broken

[MasonLyons]

I've tested this on 2 seperate windows 10 machines running different hardware. Each time I get the error message "FATAL ERROR: Failed to connect with local Steam Client process". I've reinstalled steam, opened the game up to do first time setup and checked the game files. I can't seem to work out why the test isn't working.

Hi @MasonLyons , you are not alone, I am on Linux, and csgo does not work for me neither:

• the game works fine,
• the benchmark used to work fine as well, in 2020
• but I have now an error (in 2021): cat: 'csgo/SourceBench*': No such file or directory

for me , this file:

cd $DEBUG_REAL_HOME/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike\ Global\ Offensive/
ls csgo/SourceBench*

is not available any more after running the csgo benchmark (whereas the "UNKNOWN" file is there) Now, I can also see that csgo has a new "stat" feature (payable), so could it be that it is available for premium users ?

Hope this help?

The Steam-based test profiles are just "officially" tested on Ubuntu (and Windows) with a stock install of Steam and using all default paths. Outside of that your mileage may vary on other distributions especially if using different Steam install paths, alternative Steam runtimes, etc... Unfortunately Steam tends to make things quite a mess for automating reproducibly especially on Linux and across different distributions. Patches are welcome for improving the Steam tests on other distributions/environments but aside from that is just updated whenever I happen to run into issues with new Ubuntu releases or Steam updates that break compatibility or when I happen to be on Windows and notice something broken. In the case of csgo, at least as of a few days ago was working fine in my environment but will look again next time I am in Steam.

Thanks @michaellarabel for that. Can I ask a quick question please: Can you give a high level view of your setup please?

• So Ubuntu install: OK :+1:
• Steam Install , in Ubuntu --> is that the Flathub Version ? or Ubuntu-focal-multiverse Version ? or DEB Version from the Steam website ?
• PTS install: I am guessing you install the DEB Version from the PTS website ?

Cheers

Note: I am asking as my current setup is

• XPS13 Dev Edition with Ubuntu 20.04 preinstalled
• & Steam Ubuntu-focal-multiverse Version (installed from the GUI)
• & PTS (DEB)
