Game (Skyrim) randomly freezes on some intense graphics scenes on Linux

Post by kest »

Hi,
Skyrim randomly freezes on some graphics effects scenes (like sparks, flames and etc.), it is quite randomly. Game freezes, but music still playing. I need to close window through window manager.
I got no error messages.

Is it possible to determine cause of problem, whether it is graphics drivers, some library, or game itself?

Arch Linux,
Nvidia Geforce 960 GTX,
Gnome

Just a regular user chiming in. It probably uses Vulkan and vkd3d for dx 12

Code: Select all

vulkaninfo | head -n 10
should show your version number. I would say post some logs, but I wouldn't be surprised if they are not much help as-is. I suffer the same problem with a different game, but no success yet, so this might help me too. Someone might know a good way to capture logs that could help.
