Has been an ongoing issue and well documented. This is why I can’t use an AMD GFX card with my workstation.
This is also one of those stubborn “Linux” problems that new users run into and deters them from using the OS. It’s a BIG issue to have this caveat on Linux and keeps professionals from the platform.
Everyone will yell about switching to display ports and downvote. Happens every time it comes up. Then they will tell you to use an adapter. Adapters will not magically give your 4k 120hz+ VRR. But they will insist. It never ends.
It’s not unexpected at all. Throwing in some drivers and whatnot is trivial compared to what Valve has already done with their OS. This is has always been part of their plan.
I wouldn’t be. I appreciate the work done so far by KDE and the Plasma team. They just started support with plasma 6. It will improve.
Bazzite
I wouldn’t count on them to solve it. It’s not like they have anything to do with Plasma desktop. They just package existing software in their own distro.
Thing is, the colors on my HDR display are all washed out on the desktop if I enable HDR. Specially without a color profile. Are you using a color profile?
“I have a lot of conservative friends,” the owner of my hotel tells me. “Not like, MAGA, but they just want the country to function properly.” That does not include an urgent switch to electric, which she suggested is part of a broader push from environmentalists to make kids think the "world is ending in 10 years."
"The first one we got was a no-brainer," says Superintendent Daniel Pacos. "But when we got $7.9 million in grant money to get 20 more, that’s when the concerns started coming out. People wanted to give the money back, like they heard other districts were doing, for political reasons."
All of my TVs have never seen an internet connection. I know the Apple hate is strong, but I’ve been throwing ATVs behind them since they were first released. No ads, no BS. Just a very clean experience that has never changed. I couldn’t imagine thinking putting a Google device from the largest advertising company on the planet would be some kind of upgrade.
I don't think testing a 45 GB game is feasible off of a live distro
Since AMD GFX works out of the box and steam is preinstalled in some live distro’s… simply mounting the hard drive with the game and then adding it to steam will work. Allows you to add the game ( steamlibrary) without having to download. Just a thought.
If you are curious I’d check out the following link and see what version of mesa you are running vs the latest. Maybe you can find more info or other experiences from users on that specific version.
Finally, I’m curious if you boot using USB into a live distro like Nobara, if you can manage to test the game. Or even actually install Nobara to a spare USB drive drive and test the game.
Maybe someone else can chime in, but that’s about all I can think of. If you want to find a root cause, you have to run through and find what’s not the issue.
This is just a guess, but I imagine kubuntu probably has a slightly dated kernel / mesa versions. My understanding is that As much as we wouldn’t like it to be the case, there’s still issues with AMD. It’s not totally perfect and Improvements and fixes are being added to the kernel and mesa packages all the time.
Maybe someone on AMD can confirm?
I own the game and did not experience a crash when playing through it on my nvidia system last year.
