CS:GO does not run on 18.04

I launch Steam, select Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, click "Play", black screen appears for a few seconds, then it closes. That's it.



I tried another Steam game and that seems to work fine.



How do I fix this and actually be able to play a good native Linux game instead of rebooting to Windows?



By the way, I played CS:GO on a previous Ubuntu version before. It was either 14.04 or 16.04, I can't quite remember. But it's not working in 18.04.

            Try to verify integrity of game files in the properties of CS:GO.



            enter image description here



            Otherwise try to re-install it.

              It says, "1 file failed to validate and will be reacquired". And it then downloads a small amount, maybe that 1 failed file. But the game still fails to launch and after the crash, the same error shows again when validating files integrity.
