Hey, after the

20240505

20240505

update, I noticed a couple of my games started having issues: Risk of Rain 2 has random crashes after a few minutes of playing, and Helldivers 2 seems to have trouble launching if it launches at all.

RuqOP•5/7/24, 12:06 AM

anyone else noticed this? I rolled back to

20240502

20240502

and it seemed to fix the issues.

Helldivers is a recent issue, it affects everybody

Kyle Gospo•5/7/24, 12:06 AM

By that I mean other distros too, I think it's something they need to fix

Kyle Gospo•5/7/24, 12:07 AM

Risk of rain is interesting though, I'll see if I can reproduce that

RuqOP•5/7/24, 12:07 AM

Well I rolled back and it seems to be okay...but it could just be me, that's why I wanted to ask. Thanks so much!

mervius•5/7/24, 12:14 AM

I don't have problems on risk of rain 2

mervius•5/7/24, 12:14 AM

but idk what version I'm on

mervius•5/7/24, 12:14 AM

since I turned off auto update

mervius•5/7/24, 12:14 AM

abd not home to chec

mervius•5/7/24, 12:15 AM

well, I don't have any new problems

mervius•5/7/24, 12:15 AM

there are still the occasional graphical glitches

mervius•5/7/24, 12:16 AM

but those have always been there for me. Even on the steam deck

gezellig•5/7/24, 12:18 AM

thanks, it happens infrequently but usually every few hours, also usually relaunching the app fixes it but sometimes it comes back like right away

Prinny•5/7/24, 12:19 AM

yea I've seen that happen to me from time to time on arch linux

Prinny•5/7/24, 12:19 AM

I just keep forgetting what I usually do

(not exactly replace shell thingy)

Love when issues like ^ pop up

Kyle Gospo•5/7/24, 12:38 AM

if you didn't have rebar enabled you were making a mistake

Kyle Gospo•5/7/24, 12:38 AM

solved by virtue of this crashing? W

ChaiQi•5/7/24, 12:38 AM

What is it?

CChaiQi What is it?

Kyle Gospo•5/7/24, 12:39 AM

to be honest, no idea and almost don't care since the only way it happens is if your bios is actively configured wrong

Kyle Gospo•5/7/24, 12:39 AM

this is great

Kyle Gospo•5/7/24, 12:39 AM

helldivers crashing? fix your shit your computer doesn't perform right

ChaiQi•5/7/24, 12:39 AM

I mean what is Resizable Bar?

Kyle Gospo•5/7/24, 12:39 AM

Oh, it's what AMD calls "Smart Access Memory"

mervius•5/7/24, 12:39 AM

Is there a reason to not enable Resizeable Bar?

Kyle Gospo•5/7/24, 12:40 AM

it allows your CPU to access the entirety of your GPU's VRAM

Kyle Gospo•5/7/24, 12:40 AM

without it, you get a 256MB window

Kyle Gospo•5/7/24, 12:40 AM

that has to be moved

mervius•5/7/24, 12:40 AM

It was enabled in my BIOS by default

Kyle Gospo•5/7/24, 12:40 AM

which has a cost

ChaiQi•5/7/24, 12:40 AM

I don't think I've seen a setting for smart access memory in my UEFI

CChaiQi I don't think I've seen a setting for smart access memory in my UEFI

Kyle Gospo•5/7/24, 12:40 AM

because

Kyle Gospo•5/7/24, 12:40 AM

it's likely called resize bar

mervius•5/7/24, 12:40 AM

ReBAR

mervius•5/7/24, 12:40 AM

sometimes

Kyle Gospo•5/7/24, 12:40 AM

or ReBAR, yea

Kyle Gospo•5/7/24, 12:40 AM

also

Kyle Gospo•5/7/24, 12:41 AM

"Above-4G Decoding"

ChaiQi•5/7/24, 12:41 AM

I haven't seen that either, and I am (unfortunately) still on an Intel+Nvidia laptop

mervius•5/7/24, 12:41 AM

My bios is cool and shows the ReBAR status at the top of the screen in the first menu

mervius•5/7/24, 12:41 AM

one benefit to Asus, I guess

gezellig•5/7/24, 12:41 AM

sometimes weird abbreviations too. like asus will say ReSize BAR or 4G decoding

gezellig•5/7/24, 12:41 AM

whoops you just said that sorry

gezellig•5/7/24, 12:42 AM

do I need to change any software/OS settings like in windows or just enable in bios?

mervius•5/7/24, 12:42 AM

Actually, It's set to "auto" but I think that just means it's enabled if the hardware supports it

mervius•5/7/24, 12:42 AM

and disabled if not
