Same here. Fully updated Manjaro/Arch with XFCE and Kernel 6.9.x

[Sl3epy]

Same here. On Ubuntu and Gnome

[AstroOrbis]

Same here with Arch Linux (which I use btw) on Plasma and Gnome with both X11 and Wayland (latest on all)

[CrossScarDev]

Has this been seen?

[LapisPhoenix]

Same here, it will just hang there and do nothing, ive tried several ways of killing it but nothing seems to work, other than restarting.

Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon

@LapisPhoenix I can quit by running killall modrinth-app on Arch but don't know about Mint.

[Norbiros]

The same bug was mentioned here: #1216 (comment)

[LapisPhoenix]

@LapisPhoenix I can quit by running kill-all modrinth-app on Arch but don't know about Mint.

Sorry for late reply, thanks for letting me know. On Mint I need to do killall modrinth-app and it works. Thanks for the work around.

[CrossScarDev]

@LapisPhoenix sorry yeah I meant killall modrinth-app the - was a mistake. I'll update my reply.

[Norbiros]

This bug was reintroduced in c84e2e0

[Call-Me-Alex]

@Norbiros can confirm

Ubuntu 24.04, opening any modpack's logs page makes the app freeze and turns the window to gray. here are the logs of the app:

some errors while launching but no logs after that

This is some weird problem with webkit gtk. We can't really fix it easily, so we have to switch to different virtual list library.

for that you can use an extra app called Resources
( https://flathub.org/apps/net.nokyan.Resources )

@Norbiros Maybe a somewhat related issue, on my install (Garuda KDE 6.2) the app scrolling is insanely slow. I get maybe 5-10 FPS (EDIT: turns out it's actually tied to the window size). Everything else works fine outside of the log crash. It could be that the list virtualisation is causing this too.

I can second, I got extremely slow scrolling, on all menus.

[Norbiros]

Yeah, it's also webkit problem. It is generalny very slow but in AppImages this problem is even bigger. For me manually building the app (pnpm app:build) and using binary improves it.

On new version (0.9.0) setting WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=0 on wayland improves performance & fixes this issue.

I just tried 0.9 and... it's been nothing short of a disastrous experience for me*. The official app image stays stuck on a gray window and the native decorations don't do anything.

I tried 0.9.0-1 from the AUR and that one launches but, even with the envar you're suggesting, it's more meaningful to talk about the performance in seconds per frame rather than frames per second. Simple animations like button hovers takes 1 to 2 seconds to reach their steady state. Resizing the window feels like I'm back on Windows XP. Even the native window decorations don't respond properly.

All of those simple actions are using 100% of a core. Even if some of this stuff should clearly be offloaded to the GPU, hovering a button should not be using that much resources. I can run a browser without hardware acceleration and watch videos with a better frame-rate so it's clear that there's something more involved going on here.

If this helps, I don't just get stalls; I get actual seg faults in libwebkit2gtk. If you have a way for me to share the coredump privately, I don't mind sending it over.
