Steam does not like lates xorg-updates

fernkaufmann

Some games on Steam seem to be very upset about the latest xorg-updates. They just crash with the following log output:

X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 25 (X_SendEvent) Resource id in failed request: 0x44000b6 Serial number of failed request: 72 Current serial number in output stream: 74

Sometimes the only thing they say is: X connection to :0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

Everything was fine a week ago. Any ideas?

(Specs: AMD Ryzen 5 3400g (Vega GPU) | Linux main 5.14.21-210.current)

Does the same thing happen with the "Use native runtime" option turned off in Linux Steam Integration? (restarting Steam required)

fernkaufmann

Staudey Yes. It does.

When I disable "Steam Overlay", X-Server crash happens instantly. With enabled "Steam Overlay", X-Server crashes after some minutes into the game. Mouse movement seems to be the trigger somehow. Very strange!

Can you detail what games cause the crashes, if i own them i can see if I can replicate.

After a game crashes can you check the logs
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
sudo journalctl -b --no-pager

There is nothing new in Xorg.0.log after a crash. Just the steam bash telling "X connection to 0: broken". I tried the native linux version of "Witcher 2" from Steam. It worked really good a week ago.

But I found something interesting in eopkg.log:

WARNING File Conflicts: Package /usr/bin/cvt from xorg-server Package /usr/share/man/man1/cvt.1 from xorg-server 2021-12-13 18:26:12,204: INFO Extracting files from libxcvt 2021-12-13 18:26:12,211: INFO libxcvt installed 2021-12-13 18:26:12,253: INFO Extracting files from xorg-server 2021-12-13 18:26:12,365: WARNING File not removed: /usr/bin/cvt 2021-12-13 18:26:12,365: WARNING File not removed: /usr/share/man/man1/cvt.1

You might do a sudo eopkg check and see if you have any broken packages.

Also are these proton games or native games?

fernkaufmann

zmaint Only native.

I guess I have to wait until new AMDGPU / XORG Patches fix this issue.
