AMDGPU ring gfx_0.0.0 timeout leads to system freeze (dxvk-submit)

Issues & Assistance
1

Hi CachyOS team,

My system froze today while playing a game, forcing me to perform a hard reset.

What happened:

The system experienced a complete freeze. The journalctl log indicates a clear driver crash:

  • It started with an amdgpu: [gfxhub] page fault error, triggered by dxvk-submit.

  • This immediately led to a repeating ring gfx_0.0.0 timeout error.

  • This driver failure caused Xwayland and plasmashell to crash, resulting in the total system freeze.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Launch Steam (using the Steam Linux Runtime).

  2. Set the Proton version for the game “DayZ” to proton-cachyos-10.0-20251023.

  3. Start the game.

  4. The driver crashed shortly after the game launched.

Thanks, but i´m not running native. Since there was this announcement, followed the advice.

In your post you state quite clearly to “Launch Steam (using the Steam Linux Runtime)”.

Are you still having the problem with Steam (non-native)? If so, have you tried different Proton versions?

Hi HardCode4All,
I was running “proton-cachyos-10.0-20251023 (Steam Linux Runtime)”, not the native one.
With Proton Experimental, I only experienced slight stuttering, but it was nothing as distracting as my experience on Windows 11. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Sorry, my bad.

No need to apologize.
