Freeze on game launch(AMD)

[TopGunAssasin 0]

Hey! This is my duplicate of another post i accidentaly made on the wrong account with no battles and was unable to post anything. 

As the topic says i cant launch war thunder on my arch pc whenever i hit play the game launches and freezes, on seeing the logs i found that GPU TIMEOUT is the issue.

My kernel is

~~~

5.15.6-225-tkg-pds
~~~ and i am running arch linux

My GPU

Hello @TopGunAssasin,

 

I see your main GPU is GCN 1.0, AMD R5 330/435 I'm assuming? Which last time I check at least didn't have the best Vulkan support. You could see if it will start with your APU GPU as it is a bit newer to my knowledge? If you know how.

Hey wassup!

War thunder works wonderfully on windows. That's the bummer what i think my pc has only 1 GPU but commands show 2 but i can't really switch my GPU. 

Do you want output to `vulkaninfo`. How do i get the code blocks code looks very bad without them

Hi, same problem

I post here or start a new topic?

[apemax 539]

@TopGunAssasin,

 

Yes, Well on Windows it will use DX11, Regarding using your APU GPU, You could have a look at the PRIME ArchWiki page as you might be able to use that:

 

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME

 

To use code blocks on the forum, It is the <> icon in the editor.

 

@pyromaniac1689,

 

Please submit a separate report regarding your issue.

Starting thr game with

<DRI_PRIME=1 ./launcher> has no affect

[apemax 539]

@TopGunAssasin,

 

Right, Could you please post the output of this command?

 

xrandr --listproviders

@apemax
 

Providers: number : 2
Provider 0: id: 0x52 cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 2 outputs: 2 associated providers: 1 name:Unknown AMD Radeon GPU @ pci:0000:00:01.0
Provider 1: id: 0x79 cap: 0xd, Source Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 0 outputs: 0 associated providers: 1 name:AMD Radeon R5 M330 @ pci:0000:01:00.0

 

[apemax 539]

@TopGunAssasin,

 

Thank you, If you run the command like this does it change anything?

 

DRI_PRIME=0 ./launcher

 

[TopGunAssasin 0]

@apemax Unfortunately it doesn't have any effect the game launches and insta freeze after hitting play

[apemax 539]

@TopGunAssasin,

 

Right, I'm assuming you used this command to set the provider and sink as it says in the Archwiki?

 

xrandr --setprovideroffloadsink provider sink

 

[TopGunAssasin 0]

I did nothing of those sorts. It is what arch set automatically I didn't mess with xrandr

[apemax 539]

@TopGunAssasin,

 

Right, Is this machine a prebuilt OEM desktop made by HP, Dell, etc? Also could you please install the "vulkan-extra-tools" package, run the below command and post the output?

 

vkvia

Yep, By lenovo. Also i tried the game on gentoo unfortunately that didn't work.

That package doesn't exist on portage.

[apemax 539]

@TopGunAssasin,

 

Thank you, Right, Thats the package that contains the command for Arch, Which I saw you were on in your first post. Is it possible for you to install that package and run that command on Arch?

[TopGunAssasin 0]

@apemax

Right. SO i got vkvia installed on gentoo here is the output

arnav@gentoo ~/V/b/via (master)> ./vkvia
WARNING: radv is not a conformant Vulkan implementation, testing use only.
WARNING: radv is not a conformant Vulkan implementation, testing use only.
WARNING: radv is not a conformant Vulkan implementation, testing use only.

@TopGunAssasin,

 

Right, Those warning point towards what I said earlier, GCN 1.0 isn't really 100% when it comes to Vulkan. What version of mesa do you have on Gentoo? Could you try a newer version?

[TopGunAssasin 0]

@apemax

I have the latest 21.3.3 installed on gentoo. 

But upon scouring the gentoo wiki it says the Kabini and Mullins are GCN 2.X

@TopGunAssasin,

 

Interesting, I saw for your GPU here:

 

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-r5-m330.c2681

 

That it was GCN 1.0. So I'm not sure really, AMD GPUs from around that time are a complete mess. I'm assuming you are using the AMDGPU driver right now? have you tried the radeon driver? https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon As that also supports both Southern Islands and Sea Islands GPUs?

Hey! Doesn't radeon not support vulkan?

Secondly i have a R5 M430 and not a R5 M330

Just tried it, as expected Video Initialization error 8111000B

[apemax 539]

@TopGunAssasin,

 

Right, I'm not totally familiar with AMD drivers but worth a try at least. Well TechPowerUp say the R5 M430 is GCN 1.0 as well so I'm still not sure:

Have you tried starting the game in "Old Videocard Support" mode?

[TopGunAssasin 0]

@apemax

Yep, same thing 

[apemax 539]

@TopGunAssasin,

 

Right, Does starting the game with safe mode change anything? To do this run this command in your main "WarThunder" directory:

 

./linux64/aces -safe

@apemax

Sadly no
