Description Lucas 2015-04-28 22:52:57 UTC

I had no problem playing the game (aside from low FPS) with i965 on the same machine, stock drivers from Ubuntu 14.10. Now, with a new GFX r9 280X, the game runs OK, but may randomly crash the entire system and I must hard reset the computer. I could not find anything relevant on the dmesg log from the last crashed session, the last message was from boot procedure. Last time it crashed I was on the Mission Center screen, from Carrer Mode. I also remember it crashed when I switched workspace with the game running (XFce, no composition, I pressed ctrl + alt + leftarrow, it swiched, displayed Chrome window running there, and crashed).

The driver is no longer Ubuntu stock, and I am using from this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers
with the following env var:
R600_DEBUG=sb

It crashed with Ubuntu 14.10, and crashed yesterday again, after updating to Ubuntu 15.04.

The relevant part from glxinfo:
OpenGL vendor string: X.Org
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD TAHITI
OpenGL core profile version string: 3.3 (Core Profile) Mesa 10.6.0-devel (git-7f5a8ac 2015-04-25 utopic-oibaf-ppa)
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 3.30
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile

It fares better than fglrx, that crashes the game just past main menu.

Can you run the game with the environment variable R600_DEBUG=ps,vs,gs and post the output?

Comment 2 Lucas 2015-04-29 18:53:58 UTC

I am starting to believe the problem is hardware overheat: had a relatively long session with the PC case open and no incident. Can it be considered a bug? Is overheat prevention a tractable issue in software?

Anyway, I tried to run with R600_DEBUG=ps,vs,gs, but I am not sure how to retrieve the information you need. I have the game from Steam, I ran it by typing in the terminal:

$ export R600_DEBUG=ps,vs,gs
$ steam -applaunch 220200

And it output to the terminal the usual, nothing specific to Mesa.
