Created attachment 136546 [details] glxinfo I've been trying to figure out the cause for this bug for quite some time now. Here is the bug ticket on the dota2 github page: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Dota-2/issues/1368 Since about one week ago, I have been unable to start dota2 on my machine. This happened after I updated my llvm and mesa git version. If I downgrade to mesa 17.3.1 it works again (without reboot). But it seems to be really hard to track down the commit that broke it as there seems to be some kind of cached behaviour (not the mesa shader cache as I removed the directory and rebooted several times). For example I downgraded mesa to a commit from 2017-11-17 and it worked. The next day I tried to figure out the commit that broke it. But I could then use the git master version and it seemed to work fine again. Then the next day I'm back to the same problem and I downgraded again and now it won't start again even if I use mesa from 11-17 (and rebooted). But 17.3.1 still works if I downgrade to that... (no reboot) I really do not know how to debug this further as I don't know when I'm on the commit that broke it or not. However it seems to always break if I'm on a commit that is newer than 1-2 weeks (after a reboot that is). However it will not fix itself with reboots with commits older than that either...
Forgot to mention: As I stated in the github issue, only dota seems to have this problem. No other program/game fails to create a opengl context for me. So I'm quite unsure why it is just dota2 that has problem now.

Have you tried setting the environment variable MESA_GLSL_CACHE_DISABLE=true to see if that avoids the problem?
I'm wondering if this has been the issue I've been seeing on Bioshock Will let out an older Mesa when I get home and bisect if that's the case

I tried that environment variable now and it doesn't seem to solve it either for me (with mesa from 2017-12-01)... I really do not know how I should try to bisect this...
I spoke too soon. It seems like I needed to go back a bit further. And with MESA_GLSL_CACHE_DISABLE=true, it seems like I could pinpoint the commit. This is the commit that breaks dota2 for me: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=0d044351b7043cd0bc94c1cb9b7a2213f8054414 I reverted that one and tried the master branch and now it works. I'm guessing that there is some implementation bugs or something as that commit only seems to switch on already implemented stuff.
I think this also affects i965 too 6ce9006d76c050663af0be61cc88c3215d6f8cea is the first bad commit commit 6ce9006d76c050663af0be61cc88c3215d6f8cea Author: Neil Roberts <neil@linux.intel.com> Date: Wed Oct 1 20:00:50 2014 +0100 i965: Enable flush control Reviewed-by: Adam Jackson <ajax@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Nicolai Hähnle <nicolai.haehnle@amd.com> Reviewed-by: Emil Velikov <emil.velikov@collabora.com> Reviewed-by: Kenneth Graunke <kenneth@whitecape.org> Signed-off-by: Neil Roberts <neil@linux.intel.com>
I can confirm reverting both those commits, allows me to launch BioShock Infinite on both radeonsi and i965 on master
Adam, any ideas?
Has there been any progress on this bug?
*** Bug 104627 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I've reverted these for now. I'm reasonably sure that the issue is a skew between X server and Mesa, such that the app thinks it can create a no-flush context but either the server or libGL disagrees and throws an error. This shouldn't be terribly hard to track down for someone with the time and motivation; at the moment I lack the time.
Adam, is there anything I can do to help you figure out what goes wrong?
The original issue is fixed so closing.
