Re: System Lockup when Gaming

Ftr, https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/4761

That's my report.
I think I should close this now?

Re: System Lockup when Gaming

I thought so
Please don't use "closed", moderators use then when locking threads.
You can also leave the thread open since the problem isn't really addressed and can report developments from the upstream bug (like if they could identify the problem and suggest a fix for or will provide a patch etc.)

Re: System Lockup when Gaming

The idea would be to *downgrade* the firmware to the previous version, afaiu

pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/linux-firmware-amdgpu/linux-firmware-amdgpu-20251111-1-any.pkg.tar.zst

should do, mabe try https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/ … kg.tar.zst
Make sure to update the initramfs!
