Wondered if anyone has experienced issues like GPU crash when using upscaling on an AMD GPU.
I have been gaming on linux for some months now and everything has been going smooth, but has always encountered issues using FSR in more demanding games. Baldur's Gate 3 and Darktide both, when FSR 1 og 2 was enable no matter the setting, the GPU would crash, monitors would go black and I would be presented with the login screen again. Attempt to launch the games again would most of the time fail with no errors until I restarted the computer. (And I would always have to restart twice, first restart just hangs on the three Manjaro dots. On the next boot, Manjaro starts fast as normal).
The problem was easily avoided by not using any upscaling in those games. But when I try to play Alan Wake 2 I find I cannot turn off FSR 2, and the moment the first level finishes loading the crash happens like described above.
Experimented with installing Windows on a seperate drive and running with the same setup, there it worked with no issues. Been reinstalling the drivers on manjaro and been trying to use mesa-git I've been reading about.
Note any particular steps to reproduce it below here
Turning on FSR 1 or 2 in any newer games and try to play.
Trigger the crash again, but this time grab the related lines from dmesg (using "dmesg | grep amdgpu" should suffice in most cases) from the crash. Without the error, we're all basically just taking wild guesses. :smile:

The error I could discern was:
127.933782] [drm:amdgpu_job_timedout [amdgpu]] *ERROR* ring gfx_0.0.0 timeout, signaled seq=52029, emitted seq=52031
Currently searching around about the message.
Biggest difference is that Alan Wake 2 didn't warn about "Your GPU is misisng Mesh Shader" after the reinstall, so wonder if it was something I had done wrong when using Manjaro.
Quick skilled operator search reveals:
driver issue
should be fixed by upgrading to libdrm-amdgpu1 2.4.114-1 and kernel version 6.2+
This is manjaro type in:
sudo mhwd -a pci free 0300 or
sudo mhwd -a pci non-free 0300
