[SOLVED] Runelite crash with gpu plugin, using amdgpu-pro-oglp

Due to specific performance issues with the Runelite client's GPU plugin on mesa drivers (more info here https://github.com/runelite/runelite/issues/16354 ) I've been looking into launching it with:

progl runelite

as described in the github thread. This seems to have solved the issue for many users, I'm attempting to dig into the crash that I'm experiencing to see if it's something specific to my system/setup.

I was originally running the client with the java-24-openjdk java implementation, but this crashed after failing to load the hsdis library. Unable to determine if this was meant to be bundled with java-24-openjdk, and not seeing any hsdis packages for that version I installed java-21-openjdk-hsdis and switched to that implementation with:

sudo archlinux-java set java-21-openjdk

This gets me passed the hsdis issue, but it now ultimately core dumps with:

# Problematic frame:
# C  [amdgpu_dri.so+0x15ceea5]  InitXThreadsIfNeeded+0x25

Since this seems to be driver/setup specific I've brought the issue to these forums. I'm currently using a Vega64 gpu and xorg.

I don't know if this is relevant, but I am launching straight into i3 via xinitrc, so $XDG_SESSION_TYPE is tty.

If anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it. Cheers

The amdgpu pro drivers dropped support for that GPU generation. You need the packages you get from https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/amdgpu-pro-legacy instead.

Cheers for the heads up, using amdgpu-pro-legacy solved the issue for me!
