[Linux] TF2 crashing on startup

[PoisoN-Dieg0]

I recently installed Team Fortress 2 to play a mod, but I keep getting a crash at startup. at the beginning I though it was the mod until I decided to check base TF2 and that's where I found that the game have this issue.

The Issue goes as follows: the game starts normally until you reach the initial loading screen, it takes a while to load only to end up in a crash to desktop.

I decided to try the Legacy OpenGL version and it started normally. it seems to be that the problem is with the main Vulkan version that haves the issue.

Hello @PoisoN-Dieg0, please copy the contents of Steam Runtime Diagnostics from Steam (Steam -> Help -> Steam Runtime Diagnostics) and put it in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report. In particular, we want to check if the Vulkan render paths are healthy.

Alright, it's done

Thanks, unfortunately (for troubleshooting), that looks fairly healthy so we'll need to find a hint to what's gone awry somewhere else.

I also attempted to verify the integrity of the files to see if there was something that went wrong when installing but everything seems okay, no issues. strange.

So, I managed to find another weird thing, the game executes fine on Vulkan when running on Windowed and Borderless. its in Fullscreen when the crash happens.

Good evening!
I have the same issue, with the Legacy OpenGL version it works just like with @PoisoN-Dieg0 . This wasn't happening a few weeks ago so maybe an update caused this.

Thank you!
