Trying to narrow down an extremely infuriating issue with Mesa on an AMD GPU
Trying to narrow down an extremely infuriating issue with Mesa on an AMD GPU
I have a few questions, please comment if you match all of most of these:
-
Do you use an RX 6000 series GPU?
-
Do you experience random freezes when playing games?
-
Are those freezes a "page fault"? (Use journalctl to check)
-
Do these issues occur in OpenGL games?
-
Are the page faults a GCVM_PROTECTION_FAULT?
-
What mesa version do you use?
-
What Linux distro do you use?
I've been having frequent freezes and it renders my operating system nearly unusable. I have to restart my computer to recover, and I lose all of my unsaved work.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Do you use an RX 6000 card on Linux but have not had this issue?
You're viewing a single thread.
I run an RX6600 and haven’t had any freezing issues. Which version of Mesa and which games? If it’s all OpenGL games that would be rather strange.
Mesa 23.2+
Games as simple as Minecraft eventually crash my PC.
What distro?
KDE Neon using X11 with latest stable kernel+Mesa.
Might be a gnome thing
Not sure if this will fix your problem but try Wayland and see if you have the issue. I don't know why a lot of my problems with games were fixed and it might help you.
I already use wayland. X11 is miserable for me
