Played Ark while watching videos and it didn’t crash at all, seemed stable. Will do the command and paste it here when MC crashes in a little bit.

Here is the results of “sudo journalctl -f --no-pager”

Have you tried a different kernel. It has done the job for me several times.

Try the lts or mailine build :

  1. sudo pacman -S linux-lts linux-lts-headers
  2. sudo pacman -S linux linux-headers
  3. Reboot and select the newly installed kernel(s) from GRUB menu: Advanced Options.

I had a quick look at the log, it looks like it’s a driver issue (amdgpu/mesa). As soon as I have time, I’ll take a closer look.

@Reru01: a new version of mesa was released today - do a complete system update (garuda-update) + reboot and check if you still have issues afterwards.

Edit: It is also a good idea to test another kernel (e.g. linux-znver2), as @LolFlasherNoobX has already suggested.

So new mesa driver didn’t fix it. Will try different kernal version now and update this message.

Update: Normal Linux kernal didn’t stop the crashing, now will try the lts kernal

Update: Linux LTS may have fixed the issue. Ran out of time to test further TN but MC went an hour without crashing. I will be testing this further next week, hopefully Wednesday.

Update: Unfortunately the problem was not solved. I crashed after about 1.5 hours of playing.

Try a different proton version if using Steam and do check that the DXVK version changes using: DXVK_HUD=full %command% as launch options in Steam before and after changing the Proton versions.

I’m not using steam, I’m pushing the prism launcher for Minecraft.

Edit: Additional info about the last thing I said:
Using LTS version of the linux kernal doesn’t completely fix the issue, but it has been a lot more stable. Crashes after 1.5+ hours instead of between 5 and 30 minutes.

  1. The VRAM is OK.

  2. All information from you in this thread indicates that only MC is crashing.

  3. The journal clearly shows that plasma freezes due to amdgpu/mesa issues - but that is not the cause. Something triggers the errors in amdgpu/mesa → your Minecraft is not stock, but you have installed modpacks (w/ sodium?): remove all modpacks from Minecraft (or try to remove sodium if it is present) and check if a standard installation of MC runs without issues.

  4. If this does not help, then do not start MC with the prismlauncher, but try another launcher.

Maybe it was the shaders. I turned them off and so far has been stable. Going to continue testing before giving definitive yes though

Iris shaders?

Yes, it is Iris shaders.

Edit: another 1+ hours of no crashing today, will test for many hours tomorrow. If it goes 3+ hours without crashing I will consider it fixed. May also verify test by re-enabling shaders and seeing how long it goes without crashes again.

I have been able to play for over 3 hours without crashing so I’m going to say the issue is fixed by disabling shaders.

Glad to hear it. :slight_smile:

Btw: We always mark here the solution and not the implementation. I have corrected it. :wink:
