Who cares about what you need. The cat spotted a bed with heating feature

The HDMI/DP was my wild guess. For now the problem should also go away if you just change in-game resolution for whatever is your screen. Maybe the problem isn’t being addressed because it was reported to Mesa user-space driver, but maybe the problem is in kernel module. It’s also not 100% always reproducible.

I know this issue. It’s reproducible when

• Using AMD on Wayland
• Only on certain screens or only on HDMI (I never reproduced that when using DP)
• The game is running in non-native resolution, meaning the compositor is doing upscaling
• The game window is full screen and focused - the black blocks go away if you show some desktop menu or focus other window on top - so basically looks like only happens when the direct scanout protocol is doing its thing
• not only in Steam games, in most games in general

The problem has long been reported in Mesa project, but nothing was done to help. My bet is that the bug sits in amdgpu kernel driver and not user space.

EDIT: maybe it’s worth to report in kernel bugzilla or wherever amdgpu kernel driver bugs would go. I don’t reproduce this on my end anymore, because I changed my screen and it uses DP

EDIT2: I could only reproduce it on RDNA2 and yours is RDNA3. I had Polaris (RX 570) for quite some time and it was running on Wayland. Maybe it only happens on newer cards, maybe it’s regression added along the way

I like how you accidentally (edit: or maybe not) donated Wine devs by buying CrossOver license :D

Everyone tells me similar experience with taking cat to a vet. For me, vet is actually the lightest part, but the transport and putting cat into a case is a nightmare, no matter where we go.

I tried all of them and none can handle adding custom kernel modules properly. The longest I spent was on Bazzite, because I could build my custom rpm for akmods, but then it has issues sometimes that the image was built with newer kernel than available and it fails due to being unable to install kernel modules. Long story short it requires full image build. The viable solution would be to ask devs to include the driver I need in their akmods collection, but that’s some random github fork of old driver removed from mainline kernel long time ago. I’d much rather have ability to add that myself.

I tried Nobara and used its gamescope-session package. It’s just as complete as Bazzite and the final touches are far easier to get. It’s still traditional Fedora, but gaming and HTPC ready almost out of the box.

Still beautiful imo

That’s deserved, Christmas trees suck

What a gentle cat, didn’t take the entire thing, but only an edge

Mine is so triggered to pidgeons he clicks his teeth and waves his tail furiously. I share that hate, because they poo on my car, throw stuff out of garbage cans, spread diseses and are flying rats essentially.
