Steam games freezing after few minutes

Support Gaming

1

Hi! I’m new with manjaro, and hope for your help.
So the problem my games freezes mid games. The whole display freezes , I can’t tab or anything. I can’t switch tty. Only mouse moving and music continue playing.
Before it freeze I have 120+ fps, like game launched on nvidia gpu.

Also I have this error when launching apps in port proton

 Debug: Log from RUNTIME and WINE: 
fsync: up and running.
wine: RLIMIT_NICE is <= 20, unable to use setpriority safely

okay, i expected nothing else. you’re stuck on the intel-internal graphics and your highly-overprized :wink: nvidia card is acting in idle-mode. we’ll switch to nvidia to get the mess fixed. first install a smart-tool to switch to nvidia later (we have to edit some things before we can use it) but first install

pamac install envycontrol

problems ? then try

pamac build envycontrol

please report if this step is succesful and envycontrol is installed.

kate (an editor) is installed ?

then you’ll need to edit the grub and mkinitcpio with sudo rights. if you use kate you’re simply asked for sudo-passwd at saving.

edit /etc/default/grub and add

nvidia_drm.modeset=1

to the existing

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="

edit /ect/mkinitcpio.conf

MODULES=(nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm)

run

sudo mkinitcpio -P
sudo update-grub

done ? we can proceed with the next steps if succesful edited.

7

Should I change
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash udev.log_priority=3"
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash udev.log_priority=3 nvidia_drm.modeset=1"

I have no file /ect/mkinitcpio.conf should I create it?

8

yes

and my fault it is /etc/mkinitcpio.conf ( missed /etc/ by /ect/)

9

done it

10

okay, please reboot, after reboot run the following

sudo envycontrol -s nvidia

reboot again and check the commands of the 3 commands again. please report

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
glxinfo | grep -E  "renderer|OpenGL vendor|OpenGL renderer"
sudo cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset
11

System stucks on boot. Is there some safe boot?
‘Starting Terminate Plymouth Boot Screen…’ Last line

12

open a console with Ctrl-Alt-F3, login and rerun

sudo envycontrol -s nvidia

reboot
and report

13

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

x11

glxinfo | grep -E “renderer|OpenGL vendor|OpenGL renderer”

OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU/PCIe/SSE2

sudo cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset

Y

Does it mean that nvidia will be use all time?

14

yes, but there is a little bit more in this. if you log out and login with wayland-session and you check
again then you’ll see that

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
glxinfo | grep -E  "renderer|OpenGL vendor|OpenGL renderer"
sudo cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset

you are on wayland and sgi (Intel). please check this first and report, because there is some more magic, but check this first. does it work ? please report

15

I didn’t find option to chose wayland in my sdm

16

if you reach the login screen at boot. your login-name is in the middle, but if you look at the left-bottom at the login-screen. there should be a menu where you can select between x11 and wayland.

17

There is no that option

18

please post the output of

pacman -Qi plasma-wayland-session
19 
error: package 'plasma-wayland-session' was not found
20

touche, that should be installed by default. okay let’s install it

pamac install plasma-wayland-session

reboot and check that there is a menu at the left-bottom corner at login where you can select between x11 and wayland.
