Crashing Error

Hey,

I recently built a new PC and everything runs great — except CS2, which is driving me insane right now. I keep getting "Device Lost" crashes, usually at specific spots on Inferno. The game runs perfectly smooth up until the moment it just insta-crashes with no warning. If I switch to Proton Experimental or Proton 9, the game actually runs fine — but VAC blocks me because of “invalid files”, so I can’t play on official servers, which kinda defeats the purpose. Other games run flawlessly for hours (Cyberpunk maxed out, no issues at all), so I don’t think the hardware is bad. Is anyone with similar hardware running into this and managed to fix it?

Specs:
Fedora 43 Workstation
49" Odyssey G9
AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D
RX 9070 XT OC
64GB CL28 DDR5 6000Mhz Ram
x870 Mainboard

Already tried:
Disabled integrated graphics (CPU Graphics) in BIOS
Reinstalled Vulkan drivers / forced RADV only, OpenGL launch option
Updated Mesa manually & even compiled it from source
Tuned launch options, disabled MSAA, tried lower res (works a little bit, but mostly only just worked a little bit longer until crashing), different settings
Removed shader cache & reverified files

Thanks for any tips, I appreciate every bit of help

I've been using Garuda for a bit now but it's getting buggy and I'm itching to try a new distro. I've been on Debian based stuff before and I like it but I want newer packages for VR gaming. I could simply reinstall Garuda of course. And I'm sure a few people would say to just use base Arch. But I am just getting in a mood to try something fresh.

My considerations are Fedora (or a spin), OpenSUSE (the one I was leaning toward thanks to the snapshots built in and the cute logo. Come on that chameleon is adorable.) and I don't know what else.

My favorite desktop environments are Cinnamon and KDE. I've really taken to KDE because of Wayland. I didn't used to care between the two but for multi monitor and VR Wayland is night and day difference. I've also used XFCE and liked it.

I use my Switch Pro Controller to play Steam games.

On Windows I just needed to connect the controller initially via Bluetooth, and then, whenever needed, I just press a random button to turn the controller on and it pairs by itself so I can instantly use it.

On Arch Linux, I paired it initially, but every time after that, I need to hold the sync button on top of the controller to put it in pairing mode and then press connect in the KDE Bluetooth settings. The controller won't connect by just pressing any button.

Is there any way to make it behave like on Windows?

Hey, I am having multiple crashes daily in Arc Raiders with my 7900XTX.

I have tried pretty much everything I can think of. Proton versions (experimental, GE), system updates, deleting shader cache, verifiy game files, running in gamescope, different launch parameters, running in proton Wayland, removed grub amdgpu boot options, increasing vm.max_map_count (typical UE5 issue).

Currently, using Garuda Linux KDE Plasma.

Things I could try: Disabling steam overlay, try mainline kernel instead of zen, run in -dx11 mode, disabling second monitor.

It looks like it's a game crash and not a driver crash, as I see no entries in journalctl.

I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing? A friend with almost the same setup, but RDNA4, has no crashes at all. I also zero issues with stability anywhere else.

I also feel like (not sure), the crashes only started happening a few days ago after the latest update, just started playing before, so not sure about that.

The game seems to work fine later, except the vanilla start. Anything I can do to fix this?

I only set this so far:

I actually play in 1440p with my RTX 4060 Ti and I basically use DLSS 4 Quality in almost every game and I OC my card to get 5% more performances on Windows.

Is it interesting to pay 550€ to upgrade on a 9070 non XT ? Because I've heard that some games have FSR 2 maximum, and that the most games have FSR 3.1

The performance gap should be 30% for the RX 9070 but only if I use FSR and get a 5% OC on it. If I use this GPU to play in native and without OC, I will not see the 30% increase and I don't think it's interesting to pay 550€ for this experience.

Also is this card easily OCable on Linux (Fedora KDE) than the Nvidia's on Windows ?

Thanks

Software Inc, Vintage Story, Starsector and the games from Soldak are good examples. Does anyone know other drm-free games you can purchase directly from the developers website?

As the title says, can't quite figure out why gamescope has hard crashes. Base gamescope with -h and -f work fine, but using anything like -F for scaling filters hard crashes it.

I attempted something like this:

WSILAYER=0 gamescope --backend sdl --adaptive-sync -h 2160 -f -F nis -- %command%

It still crashes. Gamescope also refuses to run vkcube unless "--expose-wayland" is set.

I know standalone gamescope is borked on Nvidia above 1440p, but I heard running it within KDE was working fine nowadays. Any thoughts?

Hi! I just setup my first linux PC on cachyOS(KDE, Wayland) I downloaded Ratbag and Piper as a way to modify my mouse for different games, but it's not detecting it at all despite steelseries being listed as compatible?.

The system itself names the mouse as Steelseries so it's not treating it as an unknown mouse.

Thanks for any help.

I'm sorry if this has already been answered but how is HDR in Linux, specifically using nvidia?This is truly the only thing holding me back for now. I really enjoy HDR.

I'm not sure if the same applies to shift + 6, 7, 8, or 9, but shift + 1 and 2 don't switch to the respective hotbar slots. I have shift bound to sprinting instead of ctrl, if that's relevant. I use Linux Mint 22.2, but I've had the same issue in Mint 22.1

my r9 380 4gb is no longer supported on windows and soon windows 10 will be sent to the grave, so was thinking about switching to linux to squeeze a bit more life from my hardware which still performs excellently for the games I play at 1080p, just recently I noticed that one of my new games was saying to update the gfx driver but obviously I cant its on legacy and the game uses unreal 5 which isnt fully supported on this card, the games performance is 60fps at 1080 on high but I have graphical issues with water texture I know this is due to my card not fully supporting the full range of unreal 5 so if I upgrade to linux would the card be fully supported again allowing me to squeeze even more life from my hardware.

thanks for any help

Fedora, KDE Plasma, KWin, Wayland

I'm looking for a new monitor and understand that 144hz is the default safe refresh rate that a setup like this will use on Linux. Is there a safe and easy way to force the higher refresh rates in these setups? Or should I just save money and stick to 144hz on a new monitor and not worrying about screwing with the kernel for some extra refresh rate?
