Linux crashes when entering Dota 2.

When you enter Dota 2, a boot screen appears, then a black screen appears and a profile screen appears, where everything appears first.

Games like Dota 2 are freezing soon after launching

I noticed that some game e.g. Dota 2 is completely frozen when playing this game but there is no error message. I checked Vulkan, OpenGL, different Kernel and mesa, but they don’t help. I restored a previous Btrfs snapshot, then the issue is gone. I checked every dependency update which caused the issue. In the end I found the libx11 18.3-4 is buggy! Old libx11 18.3-3 has no issue. It looks similar to the issue report.

[Testing Update] 2023-01-07 - Kernels; KDE Gear 22.12.1, Haskell

I’ve just pushed libx11 18.3-5 and lib32-libx11 1.8.3-1.0.

@zzigers

these methods,

What methods? Switch to the testing or unstable branch for the newest package versions that solve the issue.

I transferred to other branches, rolled back packages and installed the latest ones. there are changes, but linux also crashes. now the boot screen of Dota 2 appears, after an empty console appears and I am also thrown back to the linux boot screen

@zzigers

but linux also crashe

You must be using different terms as the rest of the internet…
In the Linux world the Operating System (Linux) does not crash because of a game, at most the game is killed if it misbehaves…

@zzigers

and I am also thrown back to the linux boot screen

Can you take a photo of that “linux boot screen”, i highly doubt it is actually the boot screen of Linux…
