Hi! I recently moved to linux mint and I am fairly new into linux gaming. I play cs2 and it runs pretty well, but i used to play 4:3 stretched, and now when i put it my mouse just stop workin in cs2, it works out of cs2 but within the game i cannot click anything, have anyone experienced this before?

Are you using Wayland or X11? (find out by entering "echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE" into a terminal)

I suspect you're on Wayland, because that's what I'm using and I also can't click anything when using a non-native resolution. I used to be able to get around this by editing the executable but as you can see that's been broken since October. For all the good Valve have done for Linux gaming, they sure don't seem too bothered by their flagship being busted.

This is where I've just given up and switched to native res (as I want to keep using Wayland) but you might be able to make it work by switching to an X11 session. What distribution are you running?

Hey! thanks for the good feedback! I am using x11 and linux mint. I am starting to see that it won't be possible indeed hahaha xd

Can't believe it's broken on X11 too lol

I guess it's in Valve's hands, then.. unluko

edit: does the problem persist if you change your desktop res to 4:3 before launching the game?

It does! Indeed, I will have to get used to 16:9
