Issues & Assistance

I have 3 installs on my pc, namely garuda xfce4. Arch with xfc4 and windows. garuda and arch don't work with war thunder

I can't start war thunder from my laptop whenever i try the game starts up and instant freeze i need to reboot my pc to use it again. I have a supported vulkan card on GCN 1.0 and war thunder runs well on my dualboot os(windows,......sorry if i disappoint someone)

ls /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/
radeon_icd.x86_64.json

running vulkaninfo doesnt give any error and posts normal output

THe error i receive is

Vulkan error: GPU timeout

Your sys info shows hybrid GPU's. I'm guessing you are not launching on the discrete GPU that actually supports Vulkan. I'd be more detailed but I've never touched AMD hybrids and so I don't know what tools are used to switch between the low power and high power. However that would be your research point, how to switch/choose your GPU on AMD hybrids.

Umm thats a intersting think because i am not sure if its a hybrid my specs were a amd a8-7410 with the R5 apu and what i think my discrete gpu is a R5 M430 so i feel like they are the same?

Nope look at your output.

Sure they're both AMD where most hyrids are say Intel/AMD or Intel/nVidia but it's still a hybrid.

I got curious about this and tried to do some digging but didn't find much (great I know... :frowning: ). Few things saying it should be auto switching since one just passes the framebuffer so either I'm totally off the mark and you shouldn't have to do anything or the amdgpu driver doesn't support vulkan, though it should from what I read. Perhaps I'll just shut the hell up heh.

There seems to be a ton of other AMD mobile i.e. hybrid users on here so hopefully someone with more hands experience on can chime in.

It does.
It’s the Radeon that doesn’t … which is why folks like me on early GCN prefer amdgpu over radeon usually (along with other reasons).

7

Yeah your --providers also shows the hybrid. Though this is another area where I'm kinda useless. I spent a lot of time trying to learn the very new --providers bit with xrandr when I found out all the DE's had broken multi XScreen/GPU support but the docs are VAGUE to say the least and the syntax was just added.

8

Like I said - it should ;p

#GCN1.0

anyways. LSPCI doesn't seem to detect my 2nd GPU but xrandr does, interesting

10

I was just clearing that up to avoid folks wasting research effort.
inb4.. turns out I'm wrong (which I'm not)

11

Heh...yeah I went and read to make sure because I had that do both or just one (radeon/amdgpu) support it. My AMD GPU stuff is a tad sketch since I bailed on them years ago.

12

I wonder if that's because (if what I read was right) one is just passing FB so it might be obscured in some cases behind the initial one passing le data. Or because the other one is completely shut off so it's hidden from probing. I skimmed a lot of things about it but it's all kinda vague in its own way about just how "completely powered off" the discrete GPU is once it's not used.

The important thing is we know it's there...it's just how do you switch to it and will that jive with that the vulkan bits want to use so your game will fire up and you can commit murder in a big steel bucket...flying bucket, floating bucket, treaded bucket :wink: SO MANY BUCKETS!

Totally off-topic and probably not as amusing to you yanks who've never had good comedy, but it's funny to me.

First off I'm not a Yank nor is @regularCoder ;p
Second off I like British dry humor ;p
Thirdly what are you running? I've seen so many AMD E/A/Ryzen mobile users lately I'd have figured someone with some actual hands on should be around to chime in.

*my lord is he writing a novel?

Removed a joke that will be deemed as xenophobic by someone and probably supported by a Moderator.

Removed an obfuscation joke that was deemed to be "Misogynistic" by forum Moderator, verifying my belief that I wouldn't be welcome on this forum!

290X, with Radeon driver. I had a go switching to amdgpu the other day, but that coincided with some other changes I made which lost me some functionality that I falsely attributed to the GPU switch and so reverted (as I needed working system for online course this week).

I have the iGPU disabled in the bios. Further info can be found in my intro thread.

16

Lol why disable, use it to run other screens :slight_smile:

I said dry humor...but she's married so I can't go finding out about the other place she may or may not be dry. :wink:

I run the US flag because there are no hybrid country or state/prov flags ;p

@regularCoder Found a post about using vgaswitcheroo but it's very old...however systemd-vgaswitcheroo-units is in the AUR.

I am gonna pretend i understand

I'd rather get you fragging fools than pretending :wink: I've just been poking around with how to switch non-prime hybrids which brought up vgaswitcheroo.

I actually spent like 7 or 8 hours yesterday fighting Vulkan...somehow some AMD vulkan bits got installed and broke everything.

Surely you do.
They ditched tea into a river to gain independence, you went without food for a while.
All one big happy club.

Here I thought he meant the vga bit...(or maybe he did...)
