Are CSGO workshop maps not compatible with CS2? (self.csgo)

Are CSGO workshop maps not compatible with CS2? Does this mean that the 200+ custom workshop maps I have collected over the years are now no longer playable?

I cannot see any workshop maps in the game menu that I have subscribed and downloaded. I even tried to reinstall CS2 on my computer to see if that will fix the problem.

I am running CS2 on Ubuntu (Linux)

Is it hard for modders to update their CSGO maps to work in CS2?

Sadly, yes. I've been following a few efforts and everything needs to be rebuilt. What little auto tooling exists creates more issues than it's worth. This is why we've seen cache take so long to recreate.

There have been some, especially smaller, maps remade but once more they've got way too many issues to be put into mainline CS yet. This is why we only have had two new maps since the beginning. It takes immense dedication from talented map builders.

Even simple surf maps have been a major pain with ramp bugs being common on even the best, and smallest

i thought the ramp bugs are because people have only used auto tools to convert them for the most part and new maps with ramps dont have them

Sadly not entirely. Some were small differences in the size and shape of ramps particularly where they conjoin which is what caused alot of them but even with new, perfect placement it's still happening. What's caused them to be greatly minified is a manual fix that checks for major changes in velocity in a direction not expected then adjusts for it server side, resetting your position, momentum, and direction to what was likely your intended route. This is still, frustratingly, not perfect especially with high ping

hmm I see. honestly used to love surfing it really pisses me off that they fucked it up so badly and didn't fix it before forcing everyone onto it but it is what it is I guess
