Hey Wild, Linux is an unsupported platform so we’re limited in the advice we can provide but our Linux community here may be able to advise. :slight_smile:

not 100% sure if this works all the time but while i am running bazzite if i use the launch commands on steam to use RADV_DEBUG=syncshaders %command% it seems to fix the gpu driver crash related to shaders for anyone else who finds this but it does heavly reduce the performance as this seem to be a band aid fix for the time

disregard my last msg above it still happens not 100% sure there is much left that can be done right now as it seems to be a issue with [d3d12 pipeline state] PSO cache loading finished, current fail rate 2/3616 (0%) it seems this may be the cause.

This part at least isn’t a linux thing, shaders have been broken on windows for a while
