I've had some crashes on linux and have been doing a lot of research for how to solve it. I haven't been able to solve my problem but I have found some solutions for other crashes which may help other people.
Random Crashes potential solutions
My problem
My crash has happened across source 2 games (or at least CS2) which is when in game (not in the hideout) the game will freeze and some audio effects will loop (particularly ability effects like wraith's cards). Then the following will display in another dialogue box
Then I have to restart the game and rejoin the game. It usually happens during laning phase but has happened later in the game. Sometimes I will not freeze but this is uncommon. I've checked my logs when it freeze and nothing displays which indicates a crash (perhaps the game.... deadlocks? sorry.) When it crahses mangohud doesn't show a crash spike anywhere, though my swap gets to 9 GB. Though swap size is 16GB.
Some info (will provide more on request)
