Can't run some games on new AMD GPU

greembow · 2023-09-28 18:33:34

I just rebuilt my computer with a Threadripper 2990WX and a Radeon RX7900XTX. When I did the upgrade, I reinstalled Arch on the computer. Now, steam games that I used to play (on an Nvidia 2060 super) won't run correctly on the new computer. I used to play Red Dead Redemption 2, Watch Dogs 2, Spider-Man: Remastered, and some other games without issue. Spider-Man: Remastered crashes upon loading into the game for the first time, Red Dead Redemption 2 crashes as soon as the menu finishes loading, with "Unknown error FFFFFFFF". Watch Dogs 2 freezes as soon as the menu loads. I've tried open source drivers, closed source drivers, running with gamemode, progl, and vk_pro. What else can I do to try and get these games running? Other games like Far Cry 5, Fallout New Vegas, Fallout 4, Doom Eternal and Payday 3 have run great.

Drop all of the amdgpu-pro stuff as well as xf86-video-amdgpu and post a xorg log and the output of

glxinfo -B #mesa-utils
vulkaninfo --summary #vulkan-tools

If it's indeed as sporadic as you mention, potentially some known regression in those games, or maybe some caching problem, try disabling vulkan shader precaching in steam and checking what happens if you start a game then.

Most of that looks fine, terminal output from running steam and letting a crash happen?

FWIW I'm also seeing a card1 device pointing to simpledrm and they can cause random shit to happen. Add

initcall_blacklist=simpledrm_platform_driver_init

to your kernel commandline: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_parameters
