Counter Strike 2 Freezes whole PC when buy menu is opened

Hi, when i open the buy menu in CS2 my computer completely freezes (including the caps lock light) for like 15 seconds then the game crashes, this started to happen after the update in 1 april. I tried every game setting, tried xorg, tried reinstalling the game and none of them helped. When i open steam on konsole and cs2 crashes the error message says “Segmentation Fault”. It works fine under proton with bots but due to VAC its impossible to play a match. My specs are:
i3 1115g4
UHD Xe G4
24 gb ddr4 ram
256 gb Nvme SSD

There comes a time when playing on a potato eventually ceases to work.

try the proton version?

Its running 60 fps in 720p so i dont think performance is the issue here

VAC doesnt works under proton as i said sadly

That april 1 update, is it a CS update or system update? If it’s a game update then very likely this is a bug introduced by valve. In that case I’m afraid there’s not much you can do but wait until they patch it.
Try to run the game in windowed mode and see if this freeze still happens when you open the menu

Its an update from CS and yes i tried windowed mode and every single resolution, i hope they patch it in next update. Every new update in this game always breaks something
