Sudden massive quality & fps drops.
Any1 else running Linux (Garuda here), game ran perfectly fine from launch until last weekend (16th August 'ish) when suddenly massive quality & fps drops, we're talking down to 8bit gfx in heavy scenes :(

100% not my gfx card, other games working perfectly, & this runs in (yuk) windows perfectly fine too.

Have tried varrious Proton versions, multiple FSR settings, on & off, all to no avail.
Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

indicates a firmware error. did your distro recently update the kernel and / or the linux-firmware package or it might be named firmware-amdgpu depending on your distro? there have been 'some' versions of that firmware that have caused issues such as crashes and short hanging.

If either were updated, downgrading and blocking that one update may help. Also try going to a more bleeding edge version might also help as it may be a bug already solved in a later version but the fix has not been back ported.

You also seem to have a problem with your steam install.
steam.sh[702633]: Can't find 'steam-runtime-check-requirements', continuing anyway
means steam can't check if your system has the required software, but will try running anyway. Also it seems wine is unable to properly set the process priority for the game which can cause issues if something else has priority over it.

May need to reinstall steam itself. Don't worry, if you installed your games to say a different location than the default, all you would need to do is point the reinstalled steam at it. no re downloading needed.

If you haven't done a re-install since around launch I'd recommend that. I didn't download the game day one so at least some tweaks/hotfixes had gone in before I got the game, but apparently there are still some issues that linger with early builds even when patched. Would get random poor performance on some start ups and no issues on others. No idea what the causes are but the devs themselves recommended a clean install if unexpected performance problems show up.

Everything cleared up once I re-installed, including the shader issue and some graphical fidelity loss.

Thanks for the info, will uninstall, wipe all steam game folders for First Descendant, reboot, reinstall, test & reply back.

Sadly the issues remain.
Sometimes is ok, good quality & fps, get into combat gameplay and quality + fps drops like a stone, frequently crazy bad, looks almost like 8bit 420p.
After combat it returns to looking ok again.
Effectively impossible to play like this :(

Perhaps it's something else in my system, Mesa perhaps?
I was running mesa 24.1.5, or even .4 & now I notice its 24.1.6
Not keen on downgrading it though, even to test, as it will likely effect other applications.

I guess I am stuck playing in awful bloatware/spyware Windows until it magically fixes itself.
Will try it in a VM I guess :|

My systems specs in case they might help...
5950X
128Gb DDR4
Crosshair VIII Dark Hero
Powercolor Red Devil 7900 XTX
2x 2Tb Firecuda nVME
3x monitors all 2560x1440 @ 60Hz

Have you tried switching proton instances? have you looked at your dmesg output? Open steam in a console window and watch the text as it launches the game. is there any errors? Are you running on the standard X11 or the pos wayland?

I've use Proton Experimental (I've used this since launch), also tried 9.0.2 & 8.0.5

No errors in dmesg output.

I am using Steam-Native, (I think that's standard?) errors when launching from console (no idea if the link to img will work)...
Steam from Konsole[postimg.cc]

Am running on KWin (Wayland)
Absolutely zero issues with anything else on my system, & as I said TFD was running perfectly fine until a little over a week ago.

& VirtualBox is a no go because I can't do GPU passthrough :(
Back to Windows to play the game again for now I guess :(

We're trying to eliminate software before considering it a hardware issue.
what does that console window say when you 'start' the game? Steam isn't wayland native, it's x11 native, runing in a piss poor emulation layer. Try, if you can running the game on a native x11 session to see if 'that' may be the cause. xwayland is a pos even more so than wayland itself.

as for dmesg we're not looking just for errors. do a 'dmesg | grep amdgpu | less

Thanks for using your time to help, I really do appreciate it.

dmesg | grep amdgpu > dmesg.txt

The
[10423.589993] [drm:amdgpu_mes_reg_write_reg_wait [amdgpu]] *ERROR* failed to reg_write_reg_wait [10593.935705] amdgpu 0000:0d:00.0: amdgpu: MES failed to respond to msg=MISC (WAIT_REG_MEM)
indicates a firmware error. did your distro recently update the kernel and / or the linux-firmware package or it might be named firmware-amdgpu depending on your distro? there have been 'some' versions of that firmware that have caused issues such as crashes and short hanging.

If either were updated, downgrading and blocking that one update may help. Also try going to a more bleeding edge version might also help as it may be a bug already solved in a later version but the fix has not been back ported.

You also seem to have a problem with your steam install.
steam.sh[702633]: Can't find 'steam-runtime-check-requirements', continuing anyway
means steam can't check if your system has the required software, but will try running anyway. Also it seems wine is unable to properly set the process priority for the game which can cause issues if something else has priority over it.

May need to reinstall steam itself. Don't worry, if you installed your games to say a different location than the default, all you would need to do is point the reinstalled steam at it. no re downloading needed.

Yes, kernel & headers were updated recently, about the same time as the mesa update last weekend.
Hmm, looks strange to me...

Garuda Settings Manager says kernel = linux-zen 6.10.5.zen1-1
But fastfetch says kernel = Linux 6.10.6-zen1-1-zen

I'll have to find out how to either update the Garuda listing or downgrade what Fastfetch is reporting.

Will also uninstall & reinstall Steam, & I guess Wine too.
I can just copy my installed Steam game directories to a backup then copy back after.

Question, have you restarted since the update? while 3d doesn't flat out stop working like nvidia on linux if you upgrade drivers/kernel. Sometimes they 'don't behave well'.
Rayva Aug 25, 2024 @ 1:25pm 
Yeah, have done multiple reboots.

Will do the uninstall/reinstall in the morning now.
But want to sort the Linux Kernel first.
Not sure why I have 2 different versions being reported, I think it best to go with the one reported in Garuda Settings.
Rayva Aug 25, 2024 @ 1:54pm 
Have matched the kernel, just did a refresh in Garuda Settings Manager & it matched, well, all except the last "-zen", good enough I think.

Will uninstall steam & wine, reboot, then install them again, reboot & test.
Rayva Aug 25, 2024 @ 2:40pm 
Well, reinstalled Steam & Wine + their dependencies.
Issue still remain, seems slightly better, but that could just be this session and time of day.
Will try a different kernel in the morning.

Update :
I decided to try the Zen Fallback Initramfs kernel first.
Jumped into game & everything is 100% perfect again.
Tested for a couple of hours, all good.
uname -r = 6.10.6-zen1-1-zen
So same as before, so I am not quite sure what's changed.
As I understand it initramfs is a temp filesystem useful for overcoming things like kernel panics, so I'm not really sure of the next step to make.
Haven't rebooted yet though, I usually only do that when forced to by an update.
