CS2 freezes with RX 9070 XT (sh.itjust.works)

Since changing my gpu from an RTX 2060 to an RX 9070 XT, I have been getting pretty random freezes when playing cs2. I can’t think of a time where this has happened in another game.

I’ve removed the nvidia drivers, and I’m running the latest mesa version in the Arch repository.

Has anyone else encountered this? Should I reinstall my system?

You've probably checked this already, but if launching through steam, check for old launch commands. That's something I'd miss.

How'd the rest of the switch go? Never switched GPU vendors on a live install before

Otherwise it’s been great.

My launch options for cs2 are:

Mangohud gamemoderun -vulkan -threads 12 -nojoy -fullscreen -sdlaudiodriver pipewire

-threads 12 might be an issue I also switched from ryzen 5600 to a 5700x3d around the same time

I would remove all of the commands and see if the issue persists.

If it fixes it, add each command one by one until you find whats causing the issue.

If it doesnt fix it, at least you can rule that out.

I have removed all the commands but it happens very rarely so I think I’ll need to give it a few days to definitively say it has fixed the issue
