Manjaro freezes when playing games

PatrykCXXVIII · 11 November 2021 12:43

When I try to play some games after a while my whole system freezes. I have no idea why. On this machine I have dual-boot with Windows and I’ve never experienced problems like that. I tried to switch my Kernel to 5.4, but it doesn’t seem to fix the issue. The games I’ve tried: Verdun, Project Heartbeat, Hearts of Iron 4 (In this case I was able to play for like a minute before the music bugged and looped over 2 seconds, then after another minute whole system froze.), Shogo: Mobile Armor Division also froze, but after I’ve switched the kernel it seems to be working (aside from tons of jitter while looking around with mouse.)

Any idea what might be the issue? I’m fairly new to Linux, though I have been using Pop!_os on laptop for about a year, though I’m not using it for games.

PatrykCXXVIII · 11 November 2021 12:54

Nope, I just push “play” on Steam or Lutris. I’ve downgraded the kernel, because I’ve seen some claims that newer kernels can cause this.

realmain · 11 November 2021 14:17

I don’t think they need to use this, because they only have 1 GPU. Their CPU doesn’t have an iGPU.

After your computer freezes and you reboot, you can use journalctl to check the end of the log of the last boot to see what caused the freezing.

journalctl --list-boots
jorrnalctl -b <input a boot ID from the above command>

Your Launch Options are wrong, why do you show that? Also as said above it is not a laptop with dual graphics card so the whole optimus manager things is also completely wrong.

W1sE · 11 November 2021 14:55

Sorry, didn’t see that

What’s wrong with them? I copied it off a post from the forum itself, so I thought they were correct

omano · 11 November 2021 17:05

In your image you have gamemoderun %command%, prime-run %command% which is wrong. If one wants to run a game with gamemode and prime-run, then the proper Launch Option would be something along those lines GitHub - FeralInteractive/gamemode: Optimise Linux system performance on demand

Just a guess but maybe gamemoderun prime-run %command% could work but not sure, anyway it is off topic to debate these settings (it may not work as explained in the link above).

I don’t know where you took this command with two launch options separated with a comma from the forum, I never saw it.

//EDIT: to get back on topic, as suggested try to look in your journal to spot issues that could trigger crash/freeze, your computer is powerful enough to not have issues running games.

To check errors from previous boot, command should be sudo journalctl -p 3 -xb -1

Also maybe the Steam log file could contain relevant information, you probably could force to log Steam output to a file if you start it from the terminal like this steam > steamlog.txt it should save the file steamlog.txt in your Home folder.

W1sE · 11 November 2021 17:21

Damn… Looks like I was doing it wrong! Thanks for pointing it out!

I’ll try this, this was suggested on Reddit too.

EDIT: I’ve removed my posts as they were misleading and wrong.

PatrykCXXVIII · 11 November 2021 19:18

I run that journalctl thingy after 3 different freezes and the the thing that I’ve seen repeated the most is “Bad value for ‘hidepid’”. Though those buffer errors also look scary. No clue what that means, here’s one of those logs:

I’m not sure about these errors, but can you install kernel 5.10 following the Manjaro WIKI Manjaro Kernels - Manjaro, and try again? You have fairly recent hardware so I would not use anything older than 5.10 kernel.

I don’t really see relevant errors from the journal.

Random things I would have you check/configure, are the compositor, and the Nvidia drivers (click to open the gallery):

[Album] Fix screen tearing on KDE with Nvidia

Another thing you could try, is to use a HDMI cable to connect your monitor to the graphics card and see if it works (you currently use a DP cable, I remember there was issues at some point on Nvidia with DP cable, maybe there still is).

Last random thing you could try, is to update your BIOS, but make sure you have a Manjaro USB stick ready in case updating the BIOS forbids you to boot on Manjaro afterwards (then you could use the USB stick to detect your installation and boot on it, and then use the WIKI to restore GRUB to fix the issue), and also that you have the knowledge to do that, and understand the potential risk of doing it.

Make sure to not do everything at the same time in case something solves the issue, to know what worked.

Any news? I posted 4 days ago, you went to the forum 2 days ago, so I assumed you have seen the message?

Hey, thanks for your engagement and sorry for not answering, I just didn’t have much time to play around with this. ;d I went along your instructions, I’ve upgraded the kernel to 5.10 but no luck. I went along those Nvidia drivers instructions, but the result was the same - it played nice for a bit and complete freeze. Connecting to monitor via HDMI also didn’t solve this. When it comes to BIOS I’ve updated it to the latest non-beta version I could find and as of now there’s no newer version than the one I have. (The beta one only adds support for Windows 11, about which I don’t care anyway.) I even tried the 5.14 kernel but still no luck, though just a moment ago my system froze right after I logged in, so maybe this time the log will be of any use?

Please also put the command you used with the journal output so we know what we are looking at. I assume these are sudo journalctl -p 3 -xb output entries?

PatrykCXXVIII · 19 November 2021 20:41

Yup, it’s sudo journalctl -p 3 -xb -1

omano · 19 November 2021 22:15

So maybe you issue is the WIFI driver acting up and freezing the system?

PatrykCXXVIII · 20 November 2021 12:55

No clue. I’ve done clean install of Pop!_os and the result was the same, so I did clean install of Manjaro and nothing changed. Maybe some part of my hardware just doesn’t work with Linux well.

straycat · 20 November 2021 13:44

It looks like your also running the nvidia driver 470.63 and the latest 470 driver is 470.86 . Also you could also try the latest driver which is 495.44 .

PatrykCXXVIII · 21 November 2021 07:58

I’ve switched to video-nvidia-470xx from video-nvidia in the hardware settings, still the same. The inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --width shows that my drivers are 470.86.

But right now I think iwlwifi might be the perpetrator. After my last freeze sudo journalctl -p 3 -xb -1 returned this:

My motherboards MSI Z390 Gaming Egde AC's wifi card is Intel Wireless-AC 9462 card, but I have no clue what to do or how to debug this if that unhandled alg thingy is at fault.

I have no idea :\ it may or may not be related to the WIFI, but the CPU lockup are the lines related to the freeze, now need to find the root of the issue and for that I’m out of idea.

Zesko · 21 November 2021 09:09

I think RAM probably has the problem when you play game, because RAM loads large data of the game and incorrectly stores data to break WIFI !?

You test RAM with the tool memtest86+

Try to disable all OC (overclock) of RAM, CPU and GPU, if it works?

Can you check the CPU temperature during playing games ?
