I wasn’t sure how to tackle this problem I have as there’s nothing on here. But I think it must therefore be a problem that can’t be resolved.
Before I went all-in with a PC that was pure AMD and Radeon this month, Alien Isolation worked fine with Alias Isolation on Windows 10. It was a PC that could only support SSE3 from it (2012-2015 Intel/nVidia). It worked fine.
With a Ryzen 5 AM4 and 2023 RDNA3 FSR3 capable GPU, KDE Plasma on Manjaro seems to be having difficulty with Alias Isolation (SSE3, AVX1, AX2) that I didn’t expect to happen.
What was even more unexpected, is that Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2 have the exact same issue with the new PC.
Can anybody help? I’ve tried everything I know to try and resolve it. That includes Ntsync, MESA fifo, Proton Wayland and even different protons (including Proton-cachyos v1-v4… the kitchen sink so to speak).
Unfortunately our is broken, and the mind reading module is still a work-in-progress.
It’s possible someone may be able to help, but they’d probably have to know what the “difficulty” is first. Could you please try to explain what the problem is?
No support for the MotherVR mod.
RenderDoc, Windows Auto HDR, MSI Afterburner, Rivatuner, or any other software which also uses API hooking may break the rendering.
Some particle effects can appear thinner or exhibit ghosting. Sparks and embers are known to be eroded.
Signs with text can noticeably “fade in” when the player’s camera is stationary.
While the motion tracker is in use, the Depth of Field shader seems to cause the tracker’s LED highlights to appear along the edges of the screen.
The Epic Games Store release of the game may crash with a fatal error at aliasIsolation_hookableOverlayRender.
You may have better luck asking the devs by opening an issue there
When you say ‘exact same issue’ on both Manjaro and Windows 11…
Now I’m going to assume that you’re throwing all these weird terms at us expecting us to be familiar with whatever niche you’re involved with…
Are you talking about some kind of tool called ‘Alias Isolation’ - I never heard of that… or are you running some kind of game called ‘Alien Isolation’?
It’s just weird.
If a MOD for a game fails on two completely separate machines, with two completely separate operating systems - then it’s not a driver or OS issue.
So my guess is you’re looking at your new hardware, and CPU instruction sets (SSE3, AVX, etc).
But you forgot to include what “doesn’t work” looks like…
I had a feeling I was going to be alone with this.
It’s an AMD issue and there’s nothing I can do about it unless I go back to Intel/nVidia solution (I’m not going to buy another £850 PC as the old PC literally died on me last year in December). I may as well go back to Windows 25H2 and produce a smile without harming myself.
The issue is that a 2012 Intel/nVidia PC ran Alien Isolation/aliasisolation sse3 without any issue and a 2023/2026 PC with Linux Manjaro KDE Plasma seems to suffering a stroke with aliasisolation: stuttering (but not everywhere; but it’s strong stuttering and feels like it’s going to crash).
In Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2 I knew it had to do with AMD’s adrenaline; but driver only still did it (I was surprised). Adrenaline has a lot of things in there that didn’t fix it (I didn’t try VSR and I don’t want to go that way).
Then you realize it’s the whole AMD setup you bought for a special occasion and ruins your day.
Seems more like asking the appropriate people for support rather than abandoning ship. This forum does have a (crystal ball) but it is only an emoji. The best people to discuss your problem with are the developers of alias isolation at the following link:
