Kernel 5.13 results on dxvk games crashing/hanging (LoL/Borderlands 2)

These games on Kernel 5.11.0-46 used to work fine, didn't crashing at all, but after the system updating its kernel to 5.13, hangs/crashes constantly started occurring on those games.

If only the games are crashing and not the kernel then please start by removing the unsupported graphics packages from your system (kisak-mesa PPA).

[João Henrique (jhlinux)]

I removed the kisak-Mesa PPA, Mesa was reverted to 21.0.3 and now these games are not even launching, but at least the following error appears on the log files:

X Error of failed request: GLXBadFBConfig
  Major opcode of failed request: 152 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request: 0 ()
  Serial number of failed request: 280
  Current serial number in output stream: 280

This error appears on the bottom of the log files on both League of Legends and Borderlands 2.

On League of Legends, the Riot Client still opens, but the League of Legends Client fails to open and crashes immediately. LoL was tried on both Wine 6.16.4 lol-ge and Wine 7.0-1 lol-ge.

I will be sending the Proton log file of Borderlands 2 too for complete analysis.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Please run:

  dpkg -l > allpackages.txt

and then attach the resulting text file here so we can check which packages are installed now.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Thanks. I can only see some remnants of the oibaf PPA which are so minor they probably don't matter here.

Next please run:

  lspci -k > lspci.txt
  journalctl -b0 > journal.txt

and attach the resulting text files here.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Thanks. I'm running out of ideas. If the main issue now is:

X Error of failed request: GLXBadFBConfig
  Major opcode of failed request: 152 (GLX)

then that suggests a bug in the Mesa, Xorg or the game/engine.

It's probably not the kernel update, but could be. To test that please try booting an older kernel

[João Henrique (jhlinux)]

Thanks for the help! It seems to be fixed using the new Ubuntu 20.04.4's Mesa (Mesa 21.2.6).

Tested Mesa 22 and kernel 5.15 trough some PPAs and it seems to also work really fine!!
Can't wait for Ubuntu 22.04!!
