[Solved]Steam Civilization 5 core dump and excessive memory usage

YjzJim · 2024-02-21 16:13:51

I am running civ 5 on my arch laptop ( lenovo t14 intel). I forced steam runtime 1.0. ( civ 5 is a linux native game).

When i opened the game, words started to flicker. With every flicker, i noticed a huge increase in ram usage, never released later on. My 16gb ram was soon full.

I ran journalctl and found this. I really have no idea how this should happen. I have read forum posts and wiki but it's been difficult for me to wrap my head around it.

and several lines later

I use hyprland, therefore wayland. graphics is intel cometlake-u gt2 ( have installed intel-ucode). Kernerl is liquorix.
This issue started in this month, was fine before. The only thing i recall that may cause it is tlp, but after i disable tlp this problem persists.

Several important lines in hyprland conf:

#misc
misc {
disable_hyprland_logo = true
disable_splash_rendering = true
vfr = true
mouse_move_enables_dpms = true
enable_swallow = true
swallow_regex = ^(kitty)$
}

Any help would be deeply appreicated.

If you have no other problems, I'd just blame the port, and chances are there is little you can do. It is really badly done. It has constantly had problems, even as trivial trying to find it's files in a case-insensitive manner (but nearly all Linux systems use case-sensitive filesystems, contrary to Windows). This just shows that it doesn't see any kind of testing / QC. Being a close-sourced program, there is little you (or I) can do to fix it.

However, a few troubleshooting ideas come to mind:

You could go trough the wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Steam/ … lization_V - from a quick glance, I'not sure there are relevant troubleshooting steps, but perhaps the overlay part? (see the following...)
Check **which process** is actually eating the RAM. Is it the game process or some Steam process? The log you've posted seems to point at some Steam webhelper (the overlay???).
Try to disable the overlay (if you don't need it, if it resolves the issue you could call it a day, but in any case it's a sensible step as it will give a hint on what is the culprit)
Are you using steam-runtime? Try steam-native (as a shot in the dark) to see if it makes any difference...
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Steam/Troubleshooting

You could try posting in steam forums or even contact ... whoever made the port (Feral?). But good luck with that, my bet is they will say "we only support Ubuntu XX.XX".
