hibernation issue

hi, a newbie for arch.
I recently switched from using a swap partition to swap file and ever since then when i hibernate my laptop and start it back it goes into a loop of blacking out and showing the lock screen and is completely unresponsive to any input.
Only solution the is to force shutdown. I have re-checked the grub file and seems to be no problem there. Also i have 8GiB swap file.
I am running kde and and latest linux kernel.

Re: hibernation issue

What's your filesystem? Are you using encryption, btrfs..?

How did you create the swapfile?

Re: hibernation issue

I am using efi dual boot with windows and am using the same boot partition of windows for grub
also i used

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=8408
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile

these commands to make swap file.
no i am not using any encryption.
