Description jkallinger97 2024-08-27 11:44:20 UTC
1. Please describe the problem:

While playing demanding games (so far I noticed it in "Helldivers 2" and "Divinity original sin 2") the whole screen freezes for multiple seconds, in unpredictable intervals. This can go so far that I get only a single frame every ~30sec till I closed the game. Sound is not impacted, and inputs are still working. Framerate before and after is not impacted.

It is not limited to the game, when I tab out even desktop/Firefox freezes. 

First wrote about the Problem here, https://community.frame.work/t/freeze-frames-fw16-linux/56367/5, others seem to have similar problems.

"journalctl -xe" does not output "amdgpu: MES failed to respond to msg=MISC (WAIT_REG_MEM)", so i assume its another bug?

2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel:

6.10.6-200.fc40.x86_64 (64-bit)

3. Did it work previously in Fedora? 

I ignored it at first so I am unsure of the first Kernel, but it was before 6.10.4. I will test version 6.10.1 and the last version of 6.9 and update the post later. In 6.8 the problem is not present. 

4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce
   the issue below:

Start up the Helldivers 2, load into a Map first Freezeframes happen within minutes and it feels like they get longer over time.

5. Does this problem occur with the latest Rawhide kernel? 

Gonna try that in a moment and update the ticket.

6. Are you running any modules that not shipped with directly Fedora's kernel?:

Not to my knowledge


Reproducible: Always

Comment 2 jkallinger97 2024-08-27 11:53:13 UTC
Only did a short test, but it seems to be still present in Rawhide

Comment 3 jkallinger97 2024-08-27 13:33:59 UTC
Freezes in "kernel-6.10.1-200.fc40.x86_64" but not in "kernel-6.9.12-200.fc40.x86_64"

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 40 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 40 on 2025-05-13.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained.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
'version' of '40'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 40 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 Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Fedora Linux 40 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2025-05-13.

Fedora Linux 40 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 Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

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