Video output lost when gaming
Hello, I've recently had random crashes happening on different games. No pattern identified, it sometimes happen after a few minutes of gaming, sometimes after a few hours.
Here are the logs before the latest crash
Any idea of what could be the issue ?

I did notice System Monitor uses a non-trivial amount of CPU and resources on my (older) system, so maybe something like a minimal version of Mangohud would be better to keep an eye on RAM usage.
Not knowing anything else about it, my first instinct would be to monitor both system and video memory usage, and watch if it's near max when a crash occurs. Maybe someone else has an easier way to do that.
I just got another crash while playing diablo 4 through lutris. VRAM got maxed out quickly after launching the game, but I was able to play around 1 hour before the crash (maybe just allocated vram not used ?). I'll link the logs of the last few minutes before the crash, as well as mangohud logs

It seems to push the VRAM usage towards it’s absolute limit(much much higher than anything on windows) and even enabling DLSS(which if you compare windows to linux it does NOT free up VRAM). To provide as much details as...

But this is not true for all games. If this doesn’t work with a dxvk.conf file in the directory where the EXE is located, try the following: Place your dxvk.conf file in yo...
