[SOLVED] Recent libseccomp update killed Steam Proton

Artlav · 2022-04-30 12:28:32

Not sure if it should go into bug reports or what, but i want to document it in case someone is trying to google it.

After a routine update all games on Steam started to run extremely slowly or fail to launch at all.

Downgrading all of it fixed things, and after much back and forth i narrowed it down to libseccomp-2.5.3-3 updating to libseccomp-2.5.4-1

With older one everything runs fine, with newer one all Steam games consume 100% CPU and either fail to launch or run as if the CPU is 100 times slower than it should be.

At the same time non-steam games and similar programs run just fine.

Another note is that Proton 6 seem to work fine (at it's usual slowness), while Proton 7 and experimental are the ones affected.

Relevant packages:

intel-compute-runtime 22.16.22992-1
intel-media-driver 22.3.1-1
lib32-libva 2.13.0-1
lib32-libva-intel-driver 2.4.1-1

lib32-vulkan-validation-layers 1.3.204.1-1
libva 2.14.0-1
libva-utils 2.14.0-1
libvdpau 1.5-1
mesa 22.0.2-1
steam 1.0.0.74-1
steam-native-runtime 1.0.0.70-3
vulkan-headers 1:1.3.211-1

vulkan-intel 22.0.2-1
xf86-video-intel 1:2.99.917+916+g31486f40-2

CPU is i7-1195G7 with Iris Xe Graphics integrated GPU, in case that is relevant.

It is getting annoying to downgrade it all the time.
Is there some workaround or config update i'm missing?

xf86-video-intel 1:2.99.917+916+g31486f40-2

Your processor with that iGPU was released in Q2 2021 .
xf86-video-intel worked well for iGPU of 10+ years ago.

libva-intel-driver doesn't support anything newer then coffee lake (2017) .

vdpau is not supported on intel gpus at all.

I don't know if the libseccomp update is related to your issue or merely a symptom, but your graphics setup has serious flaws.
fix them first.

Are you using Xorg or wayland ?
Which WM / DE ?
How are you starting the graphics environment ?

Hm, i looked through the intel video driver arch page and am not really sure what there is to change.
Apparently it's still supposed to be installed for managing things.

That might be a remnant from trying to get Steam remote play streaming to run with hw acceleration, removing it changed nothing.

It appears to be a Steam dependency, won't uninstall without taking Steam with it.

Well, it works fine otherwise.

Xorg, XFCE, via .bash_profile:

if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ] && [ -n "$XDG_VTNR" ] && [ "$XDG_VTNR" -eq 1 ]; then
  exec startx >/tmp/xlog.txt 2>&1
fi

lspci and the way you start X work look fine.

I misjudged how many things have a hard dependency on libvdpau. Although it's uselss on your system it's much easier to keep it.

xf86-video-intel is so often the cause of graphics problems on intel processors younger then 2006 that removing it to verify whether it's involved has become the most recommended action.

There are however some very rare situations where xf86-video-intel is needed on modern intel graphics.

I suggest you remove it and check whether that solves/reduces the issue.
NOTE:
Check your static *.conf files before removing, there may be a few that force X to use xf86-video-intel and need to be removed also.

The problem is still there, and is still reliably solvable by downgrading to libseccomp-2.5.3-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
Nothing else have been able to cause it with older libseccomp.
Nothing else have been able to solve it with newer libseccomp.

Artlav · 2022-12-20 11:56:49

Another thing i noticed is that it's not just games - regular Steam activity like opening it up and doing stuff in it also cause 100% CPU load on all cores with new libseccomp. It feels only a little more laggy, so i never noticed before.

Artlav · 2023-04-29 17:49:28

As of libseccomp 2.5.4-2 the problem have disappeared.
Everything works fine now without the need to downgrade it.
