Quoting: libgradevGoing by your earlier reply (sound still playing) I'm wondering if you're seeing the 'focus lost' 'freeze' I've seen a couple of times. I'm running i3 WM here and if it happens I can toggle fullscreen and the game comes back to life just fine.

It's a hard GPU freeze. It renders input unusable (keyboard doesn't react to any keys). You can still access the system over ssh remotely though, but it's not even rebootable, and you can't restart sddm, because GPU is hanging.

It's possible the newer kernel is the key solution here. I'll try 4.15 when it will be available in Debian testing.

Ahh, yeah forgot you'd mentioned that input was ignored too :/

I haven't seen a freeze like that but I'll run some more tests for you - I'll try it on my Polaris card too :) I've CC'd to the bug report.

Thanks! If it would freeze on Polaris on the same system setup, it would confirm it's Polaris specific bug.

OK - I have seen a game 'freeze' with this patched version of Wine but it's similar as mentioned previously and I can unfreeze it unless the game is set to fullscreen = crashed game but not system.

Happens on save.

Quoting: libgradevOK - I have seen a game 'freeze' with this patched version of Wine

You mean with Polaris?

Quoting: libgradevit's similar as mentioned previously and I can unfreeze it unless the game is set to fullscreen

And when it's fullscreen, you can't unfreeze it at all and need a reboot?

No to both, sorry. Just adding FYI.

Hm. It must be an amdgpu Polaris specific bug. Weird, but I hope Mesa / kernel developers can do something about it. So far no one responded in the mesa bug. Once we'll collect more info, I can update it with some details about Vega.
