Hi, this is my first post here and my observations overlap between gnome freezing, networking shenanigans and game (Monster Hunter Wilds) freezes. If this post is not correctly placed here please tell me or move it.
I installed manjaro (minimal) on my machine on sunday and since then i observed these issues:
Gnome:
- Sometimes gnome becomes unresponsive. The Super key does nothing, tabbing through applications does nothing and i cannot move or close windows.
- Especially when having a game open gnome becomes very laggy. When the game freezes almost always causes a gnome freeze as well, which is why i think the issues are connected.
Network:
- Most of the time, the wifi connects only after 30 sec or so. Other times it is connected instantly. We never had this issue with this dongle or the wifi on any other device.
- Rarely, the NetworkManager seems to die out of nowhere. I only notice by the wifi being gone and the network tab in the settings telling me that the service is unavailable.
- Sometimes the connection is dropped and reconnected after ~30 sec.
Gaming:
I want to play Monster Hunter Wilds using Steam+Proton. I tried both Proton Experimental as well as Bleeding Edge. The result is the same. In general the game runs quite smoothly based on my hardware performance, but there is one issue that makes it unplayable:
Sometimes randomly and in specific missions in particular the game freezes
completely when doing a certain fight for one to three minutes. I can still hear music, but the game is unresponsive. In btop I can see that the gpu and cpu are not under more load than they are otherwise during the mission, vram is not maxed out and the temperatures are around 70°C, which should be perfectly fine. After the freeze, one or two cores of the cpu max out at 100% for a few seconds, then the load on cpu and gpu drops to the same it would have without the game.
I tried a lot of different settings constellations, different proton versions, reinstalled the nvidia drivers and all kinds of ingame changes i can make. nothing made a difference.
I believe on the install of manjaro something went wrong, maybe some driver was installed incorrectly. I used manjaro on this exact machine before already, but after moving i wanted to have a fresh install, since i didn’t use the windows partition anymore. The only difference was, that this time the install of the full version did not work, it stopped at “Configuring Hardware” at 78% indefinitely. The minimal version worked smoothly.
Here is my inxi -zv8:
