Best way to play Counter-Strike 2 stretched?

[CNR0706]

When running the game in native Wayland (SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=wayland) it works almost perfectly. Only issue is that Tearing does not work like this (even though there is nothing else visible on the monitor).

When using the csgo-vulkan-fix plugin Tearing works but everything looks super pixelated for some reason. Especially text.

Has anyone found a better solution?

gamescope and rootful XWayland don't work well unfortunately.

I play stretched with csgo-vk-fix and everything works smoothly. Text is pixelated because it's stretched...?

no clue, would have to debug. Only thing that comes to mind is cs2 having more than one surface, but idk why it'd do that, so I doubt its the problem

[CNR0706]

The second surface should show up in hyprctl clients right? If that's the case: CS:2 does not seem to create a second surface.

Should I open an issue about this? CS:2 doesn't seem to be the only application that's a bit wonky when it comes to Tearing.

No, it won't show in hyprctl clients.

What @CNR0706 says about it looking pixelated happens, in my case it is very evident in the crosshairs, which look displaced.

PD: I use 1440x1080 resolution
In X11 or using gamescope it looks perfect, it is only displaced with the plugin.

This is how it looks like from X11

In both cases the game is in 1440x1080 (4:3).
but you can see that using the plugin it is not the same.

Did steam support wayland？my steam work bad in xwayland：（

[CNR0706]

No, but most GoldSrc, Source and Source 2 games do.
