Shaders eventually lead to the system locking up
Description: playing minecraft with shaders on after between 30 minutes and 2 hours causes the entire system to lock up requiring a reboot
OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed (ran into this problem on Nobara and Fedora as well)
Iris Version: 1.6.11
Sodium Version: 0.5.3
Minecraft Version: 1.20.1
Shaders used: Complementary Unbound
i can provide any further info that might be needed

How to get a log file:
Game logs can be found in the
logs sub-directory in .minecraft on clients, or the logs sub-folder of the server directory for servers. We're probably interested in the file named latest.log, which you can drag and drop into Discord.Tag requested by lord_adorable
have you checked what the system says?
where can i get the system logs
idk what you use
probably systemd
Maybe your pc just can’t handle it. Overheating or something?
whats the system specs
Pc specs? openSUSE Tumbleweed is a unstable channel, like Windows Insider Program. If you need more stability you needs to change to openSUSE Leap. Is more stable.
if you have just restarted your computer after it freezing I would run
journalctl -b -1
@Territeryzen 5 1600
rx 6650 xt (yes im aware bottleneck is a problem)
32gb ram
and then navigate all the way to the end of the log
alright
i will later try to run the game with shaders
the -b option allows you to read logs from past boots
so -1 is previous boot
-2 would be previous previous
Entire system lock is not normal and I think that is an operative system problem, like kernel panic. These kind of problem also can be provided due voltage unstability on your hardware, but if with another OS like Windows works well, your problem is your openSUSE. Finally this is not an Minecraft/Iris problem because this problem is not showing on the mayor of users. Ah, and a simple bottleneck never causes an entire system lock.
i just dug up the logs
kwin_wayland_wrapper [2196]: amdgpu: The CS has been rejected (-125), but the context isn't robust
the process will be terminated
OS/drivers
as well as
kded5[2706]: X connection to :1 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)
GPU drivers crash
do you have any type of video playback going on
I suppose that you are using latest drivers
i dont recall if that was happening on the most recent crash
but i had several others where there wasnt any playback
im gonna assume driver problem
i mean actually it could be an os issue even though i ran into the same problem on 2 other distros (fedora and nobara)
If I'm not wrong all distros based on Redhat
yea thats why i guessed os issue could be on the table
You tried Debian based distros?
Or the same Debian?
As I know, mayor of Redhat based distros are more like enterprise target (Redhat, oracle, fedora, CentOS, etc).
Maybe another option is arch Linux. Steam deck runs steamos that is based on that.
ive used ubuntu before
never could get debian set up
honestly i want the balance between stability and up to date packages
thats pretty much what redhat based distros are to me
So a stable channel of a Redhat distro should be like openSUSE Leap, but I can not guarantee that it will solve your problem seen what has been seen. Good luck.
i just remembered those last few lines at the end of the logs yea there was definitely video playback involved
i think 2 lines mentioned it
so cant watch/listen to a video while im playing?
GitLab
System freeze when playing HEVC encoded videos (Linux 6.3.1-arch1-1...
Brief summary of the problem: System become unresponsive (keyboard & mouse not working/screen froze) when playing HVEC video (tested using VLC)...
huh interesting
question is why does it happen while minecraft is running with shaders
i havent had that happen outside of it
