Helldivers Crashes and freezes entire computer. Has happened in other games

Hi there!
I have been playing HD2 recently, and have encountered this bug constantly. It seems to occur at random intervals, and I think this has happened in other games too however I cannot remember which ones.

When this freeze happens, all audio cuts out after about half a second, my screen goes black, then my primary monitor turns back on and shows the frozen frame. Switching to a different terminal (ctrl + alt + f1, f2 etc…) does nothing

My PC remains on, so I tried switching to my motherboard display output to no avail.

Here is my proton log: steam-553850.log - Pastebin.com
I had to cut a bunch of it to meet the size requirements of pastebin but I think the end is what really matters. I have tried different proton versions such as GE, experimental and 8.0

If there are any other logs that I could attach to help let me know!

(details on my specs and drivers are on my profile :slight_smile: )

-------------------------------------------SOLUTION------------------------------------------------------

In the game properties, set launch options to: --use-d3d11

Pretty much an out-of-ram problem and no OOM-Killer is running, therefore it stuck in a loop and react very slow. Do you have a swap?

The log reveals nothing different. Example:

err:vkd3d-proton:vkd3d_wait_for_gpu_timeline_semaphore: Failed to wait for Vulkan timeline semaphore, vr -4.

LANG=C errno 4
EINTR 4 Interrupted system call

That happens when the game tries to address more RAM than available. In that case it must be VRAM of your GPU.

Please also provide system information.

As @megavolt mentioned, it looks like a Out Of Memory issue.

Reisub helps against system freezes, but not cured the whole problem:

Reisub activate:
/etc/default/grub add in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT parameter sysrq_always_enabled=1

Save and Exit then:

sudo update-grub

After that, check the file again:
/proc/sys/kernel/sysrq

The Value changed from 16 to 1

So SysRq Key should be fully unlock (with value 1) with that command.

Free Memory, when your system going to freeze because OOM bug:
alt+print+f

More combos:
Linux Magic System Request Key Hacks — The Linux Kernel documentation

Other ProtonDB user already mentionend switching from Fullscreen to Window, helps against this crashes. So im not sure, if this is finally a OOM error or just the game itself.

But when you said, you had this problems with other games too, paste your system information.

We need to see how your system settings are adjusted.

After i switched from Windows to Linux, i also had problems with my CPU Overclocking… i found out, that Linux relies more on stability as Windows and i had to recude my OC a little.

I am unsure what an Out Of Memory error killer is but I understand what an out of memory error is

Yeah I have been using linux for a little while now, I was on Ubuntu for about 6 months and after I had turned that into a pile of apps and other garbage I have fucked with too much, I started fresh with manjaro. I have purposefully underclocked my RAM becuase I kept having issues with stability on both windows and linux, I have not touched my CPU clock speeds because modern ones can regulate itself without needing to muck with the bios settings.

Is it possible that there is an unadressed memory leak that only occurs through proton? others don’t seem to have this issue but it could be possible… I have an RX 7900 XTX (24gb vram) so I doubt that its that I have too little memory. Playing Helldivers on Windows doesn’t have that issue for me so idk…

Yeah I see, you have a lot of memory. My guess is that it relates to VkBufferView. Here I see issues of “Resident Evil 2”:

and this:

It looks pretty much like this new game has a similar issue, where it buffers endless until the RAM is full and well it “crash” or better: it hangs in a loop. But it is a just a guess.

Just for the record: https://github.com/doitsujin/vkd3d/commits/offset-buffers/

Probably try to play it not on ultra or epic details as workaround?

I have tried running it at lower graphics, including reducing resolution to reduce the framebuffer. It prolongs the crash but not enough to get 40 minute sessions out of it unfortunately. Its sad to see this as others aren’t having this issue. but IDK. Feels there is nothing for me to do about this other than using windows.

@KEEB Did you ever read this? https://www.protondb.com/app/553850

Just switch to DX11, so using DXVK on Linux instead of VKD3D, which is a translator for DX12. Almost all comments simply points to it.

And well, there is no major benefit in using DX12, especially on Linux.

I will give that a go, Never spotted a suggestion to use dx11.

It’s getting late here so I will give it a go when I get time

10

I saw already several youtube streamers confirmed, that the developers failed with their patches (again) and ton’s of players having crashes from HD2 all over the place… Its actually related to Lightning/Electro (Arc) weapons.

The developer is aware about this issue and will release a patch in the coming week.

But to have a full freezing system, looks to me, far beyond this issue.

And be aware, about nguard GG… to run this Low Level Kernel Anti Cheat under Windows, could damage your Hardware and is widespread reported about this dangerous behavior.

11

I am critical of their practices and I am very aware of these issues. I don’t think that should prevent me from playing a truly wonderful game despite that. It isn’t all or nothing, there is a grey area that this game sits in. I agree that an anticheat for a PVE game is frankly ridiculous, and a kernel level anticheat is entirely unneccesary when all that is needed is some sanity checks built into the servers and peers. Despite this, the game is stupid fun and they have a gem on their hands here.

I have study to do so I can’t test the fixes suggested until later, but will get back to this forum to see if the solutions proposed did anything and pin the solution for my issues here.

I’m a bit surprised no-one has suggested grabbing the output from journalctl -b -1 after a crash (this is the system logs from the previous boot, i.e. the one that crashed). The fact that the computer doesn’t crash immediately suggests that you might be able to get something from those logs.

It also might be worth seeing if the system is completely unresponsive by using the Alt + SysRq + b key combo to attempt a reboot.

All that being said, one thing to keep in mind that a failure involving monitors going dark can be caused by a lot of things. When it happened to me, it turned out to be my PSU going bad.

13

It was an OOM error I think. switching to DirectX11 fixed the memory leak

14

If it works, I guess it works. However, the error VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST in the Proton logs suggests that the GPU has not responded in time, which isn’t the behavior that I’d expect when the OOM killer fires (as that’s CPU-side).

Having looked at the reports on ProtonDB, my guess is that it might be a driver issue, but it’s hard to tell for sure.

15

Also still no swap.

16

It was a GPU memory leak (at least that’s the suspicion)
