System completely freezes during a game
Multitude9898 Jan 29, 2023
I've been playing Elite Dangerous through steam proton (experimental). Once started, the game works completely fine without any issues, however after a few minutes of play (maybe like 10), the game suddenly causes my whole system to completely freeze. I'm not able to switch to another TTY, nor do anything in the system, and I just need to restart it with the power button.

System info:
OS, kernel: Arch Linux 6.1.8.arch1-1
WM: Hyprland (Wayland, wlroots based), though I can replicate this on sway too (also wlroots based)
GPU: Integrated AMD Radeon graphics (AMD ATI 05:00.0 Renoir)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 4600H with Radeon Graphics (12) @ 3.000GHz

These were the last log entries in system journal:

Any ideas what's going on here?
Chuckaluphagus Jan 29, 2023
The situation you describe sounds like overheating. The logs say you're running on a laptop - it's not going to have much cooling capability for its components. 10 minutes of a high-end 3D game might be heating up the CPU, RAM, SSD, or another part hot enough that it's tripping a thermal protection system.

Have you run into this problem running any other demanding 3D programs?

Overheating would also turn off the computer, not freeze it. In the log I see some amdgpu and dxvk messages, which might be related to the problem. Try a different Proton version. Have you tried using Xorg, not Wayland?
