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?
RX6600 on arch. It was kinda a nightmare a few weeks ago ngl. The whole screen freeze, lost the video signal then gives false hopes by returning the signal to the screen but still freezed requiring a hard reset.
I made a new fresh install of arch on a different drive and did some quick tests, the issue was still here.
I’m not having those frequent freezes anymore so there’s that. Don’t know what’s so special about these cards but holy moly that’s my first time having so many issues with a graphics card.
