I need a bit of help troubleshooting this. It’s not a CachyOS issue, and started happening since yesterday.
Happens on ALL steam games with an AMD gpu (7800xt). The only error I can see after running Proton DEBUG = 1 is this one:
0:00:00.034816391 4855 0x74bdf80b25c0 ERROR WINE wg_source.c:423:check_decoding_support: pad <avdec_vc1-0:sink>
Used a few rollbacks to restore previous points before this latest kwin update and mesa update but nope still crashing so probably unrelated to those updates.
The games crash ONLY in Fullscreen/Windowed Borderless but not in Windowed. I tried running OpenGL still crashing under that scenario. Changed all sorts of Proton Version, the same thing.
Removed my 'LD_PRELOAD=“” gamemoderun %command% ’ didn’t make any difference.
Since it happens to all games, I figured it’s either Wayland crash or GPU driver crash, but since the games work fine on Windowed I’m confused to which is the more likely one.
Any other logs I can check and start from there?
P.S Ran a non-Steam game in fullscreen without an issue. So it’s something in there
I believe it’s running some sort of a wrapper and it’s not a proton/wine game. I’m running Steam Runtime, I did try Native and did not make a difference.
The blackscreens are only “fixable” with Windowed, and to get rid of them I need to alt-tab so the focus shifts on another window like an open browser. At that point the game is on the background and I can safely close it.
At this point I’m not sure if the title is correct as this does not appear to be a driver crash but some sort of a screen blackout that gets fixed with an Alt-tab. The screen does go blank every 4-5s thought then back in picture and back to black. The proton debug log has a bunch of warnings, don’t know if those would be useful
Had to run it a few times and stop quickly or the log gets too big to be pasted.
This is what the Proton Log looks like. I’ve been playing on these loading variables for the last month:
LD_PRELOAD=“” gamemoderun PROTON_LOG=1 %command%
minus the log of course. The preload fixed my time bomb stutters after 30 minutes, while the gamemoderun fixes my high ping bug (happens in some games but this fixes it).
I did several updates yesterday, but never restarted until I went to bed and when I woke up today nothing could behave normally under fullscreen or window borderless on steam.
This is the system error log I get from dmesg
The gpu is not undervolted/overclocked and I’ve been running this fine and it still runs fine on anything that’s not steam so I’m pretty sure this is not a hardware issue.
Also the longer I run a game that does this the longer i get

it’s this unwind just at different memory places over and over and over. A good 10s produce like 27,000 log
After trying literally anything I can think of, I just went ahead, formatted my cachyos partition and reinstalled it. After setting up everything back to how it was, things worked normally.
I don’t know what had happened but now ive left the default snapper settings for up to 50 restore points (previously I had set them to 3, because who needs so many restore points lol).
After a power outtage last night while I was in a game, the same thing returned. This time I had good snapper back ups, but sadly they did not help if the issue was a corrupted file?
Tried reinstalling the headers, the drivers, steam, proton anything that has to do with software. From what I’ve read it could be the driver getting into a ‘bad state’?
After outtage this starts to show up

However I’ve never checked for errors before so have no idea if it’s an actual problem here or just information. The issue is exactly as before, under Fullscreen or Borderless Window I start getting black screens which stay for up to 10s then it’s back to picture and then back to black screen. On Windowed this does not exist.
Timewise, the machine was stable 10 minutes ago, then power went off and became this. Any restore points didn’t help and it just acts like that.
P.S After searching for a while it says that it could be Adaptive Sync which would make sense why the restores didn’t work. What do I have to reinstall if it breaks again, as for now my “fix” is reinstalling CachyOS over and over
