Steam games cause cosmic to crash #946
Comments
update: turns out this isn't caused by the games themselves, the crash happens when trying to launch games from the steam tray app, which makes sense given the nature of the bug and conversation in the wl-paste story |
Same issue here, and it affects some games launched from inside Steam itself. Namely, 40K: Darktide, and this seems to be due to its launcher. If I use a launcher skip binary, the game runs just fine, and COSMIC doesn't crash. From what I can tell, it looks like this crash happens when a process transitions from one window to another that's owned by the same process. This is just me speculating on what I've noticed from the behavior, though. |
Looks like the crashing may have been fixed in I don't mean to hijack this issue, and the only reason why I'm including this is because this same issue started up when Edit: Was able to fix this by just wiping the user settings file. Running a diff on the old and new config file shows a bunch of missing stuff related to the display in the old one, so that likely explains that. Odd that the game wouldn't automatically add this in, but seems to be resolved now. |
agreed, looks like this is fixed by #949 , I pulled the latest changes and no longer see the problem |
With one of the recent updates (within the past week) all steam games are now causing cosmic to crash on a regular basis for me. I will boot up the steam game and 75% of the time, it will cause a complete crash and reboot of cosmic desktop (as if I had manually logged out and logged back in)
If I do manage to get a game running, there is a chance it will crash mid-gameplay as well.
In either case, the stacktrace in journalctl looks like this:
I am running the latest cosmic alpha. I keep it pointed at popdev:master and update daily
