Xorg.0.log

Description of problem: 

Some games that uses multicore rendering freezes few seconds after the game starts. First few second are playable.

I don't have a huge selection of games, but from the ones I have The Beginners Guide and The Stanley Parable utilizing source engine both freezes with mat_queue_mode is set to -1 or 2.

Q.U.B.E: Director's Cut that utilizes different engine also freezes on main menu after few seconds after menu appears.

 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-drv-intel-xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.917-18.20151109.fc24.x86_64 or newer

How reproducible: Very well


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just start the game, freeze should happen in no more then 10 seconds in.


Actual results: Game freeze


Expected results: Game runs without freezes


Additional info:
With xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.917-16.20150729.fc24.x86_64 freezes does not happen.

Also, freezes does not happen Ubuntu 16.04.1.

Comment 4 srakitnican 2016-08-27 11:30:18 UTC
The difference from Ubuntu is that Fedora enables DRI3 by default. I found out that following fixes freezes with recent xorg-x11-drv-intel.

$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-game_freeze_fix.conf 
Section "Device"
    Identifier "Intel_Graphics"
    Driver "intel"
    Option "DRI" "2"
EndSection

If any developer needs a copy of The Stanley Parable or The Beginner's Guide to debug this issue, feel free to shoot me an email.

Comment 6 srakitnican 2016-09-09 06:17:32 UTC
Two more Steam games that is having problems with DRI3 enabled:
AdVenture Capitalist - In the lack of a term, screen is flashing with a random image constantly, game freezes eventually
Viridi - Black screen for a split second, doesn't start

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2017-02-28 10:10:02 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle.
Changing version to '26'.

Comment 8 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-03 08:47:50 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '26'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 9 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-29 11:23:04 UTC
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26
is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
