I few days ago I posted about my games freezing on my new pc here:
https://lemmy.ml/post/41956931
I thought my issue was an outdated motherboard bios and also having screen locking/sleep mode on. It appears that was wrong because I am still having the issue. I have come prepared this time though! I have several proton logs of games freezing up. Some of the logs are the game freezing and continuing, other logs are the gsne freezing and completely stopping.
I also had a weird error popup that would come up when enabling proton logs for cyberpunk. I put that image with the proton logs. I put in my journalctl with the most recent cyberpunk freeze/crash that happened as well.
I am beginning to think that it is a driver issue with my 5070ti. I found this post on the linux gaming subreddit that has many people expressing the same issue:
My overall concern is if this is a hardware issue rhat I need to get rma’d or just a linux issue.
Crash logs:
Any help is appreciated!! Thank you all for your time!
what DE/WM are you using on Cachy?
I had a very similar problem as you but ONLY with x11 DE’s/WM’s. My machine would do the exact same thing with some games. play for a bit, then the visual and only the visual would freeze or show a black screen or simply just show the desktop but the game was still running as the audio and what have you was still working. This would also happen when alt tabbing or moving to another workspace and back. Essentially because my system had an onboard amd gpu AND a discrete Nvidia GPU gaming on x11 was a no go and I had to use wayland and it would ONLY flawlessly work on KDE. Using things like Niri or Hyprland or whatever had separate issues with mouse constraints.
Also have you tried using a different version of Proton? I know the latest GE Proton isn’t honestly Eggrolls best work as I’ve also had issues with it and have heard others having issues as well.
