Elden Ring & AMD RX5700

Post by Prince of Heck »

From day 1 I haven't been able to play this game. I get it to run BEAUTIFULLY, but get hard crashes after random lengths of time. My longest has been a couple of hours of continuous play. Has anyone been able to this card to run this game?

When it comes to Steam games running under Proton, they tend to either work fine or not at all. If the game is starting and running for awhile then I would be inclined to think you are having a hardware issue of some sort. Are you monitoring your system temperatures? Have you blown the dust out of your case recently? Are you running any sort of overclock? Are all of your fans working? Can you describe the crashes? Does it drop you back to the desktop? Does the whole system freeze? What exactly do you see when it happens?

Also, if you could run the command inxi -Fxxxrz and post it here using the </> button it would help us understand your setup better.

Crash: Music continues to play but system is frozen with heavy graphic anomalies. CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE is the only thing I've been able to use to get out of it.
Temps: I'll have to monitor temps, but this is the only game that crashes. Witcher 3 runs great and I'm usually running settings in W3 that push the card so I'm thinking the temps should be OK. Case is open chassis and fans are running and heat sinks free of dust and debris.

Some reports out there of under-volting this card may help. I may explore that.

I've been having similar issues with the same card, except usually my whole system needs to be powered down because nothing will respond. I don't think it'd be a temperature issue, because usually the crashing happens pretty quickly after starting the game, so the GPU has hardly been working, and other games don't have issues.

So far the biggest improvement I've seen has been after turning off my 2nd monitor so only the main monitor with Elden Ring is on. I gave this a shot after I noticed the crashing happening more quickly when I was switching to use a web browser on my 2nd monitor while playing.

I've also fiddled with Proton settings and launch options, but didn't see much of a difference from that. Most recently, I've been using GE-Proton7-50 with launch option "AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV". That has seemed fine so far.

Earlier today I also tried installing the Mesa 23.1 GPU driver (with the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ change noted in viewtopic.php?t=391055&sid=15a4110c1b81 ... 132682e802), which also seems fine so far, but I haven't had much time to test it yet.

Edit: None of this actually solved the issue, though the GPU driver update did make the crash slightly more graceful. Instead of me needing to power off the machine and turn it back on, it seems to reboot itself and I end up on the Linux Mint login screen.

I'm curious about the age of that PSU as well as its spec in your desktop PC. If your pc was custom built, we don't yet know the age of your PSU ( many prebuilts...you can tell the possible age given the cpu gen/architecture)

When my gen 1 NZXT hale 90 white 800+ watter was on its last legs in 2021..the whole pc would randomly shut off..then power itself back on.

Replaced that with a new Seagate and everything is right as rain again.

Please provide all the info you can about your Power supply.

I think what stopped the sporadic game crashing for me was installing the latest 6.1 Linux kernel (6.1.20). I had read somewhere (lost the URL) that it included a fix to one of the errors I had seen in my logs at crash time, and since installing it a few days ago I have had zero crashes in Elden Ring.

I had a EVGA BQ 750W PSU that was only 2.5 years old, but it had been in rough shape shortly after I installed it. It was pretty loud, but I figured it was an all or nothing kind of thing, and it seemed to be working. I just put in a Corsair RM750e (same wattage, but gold instead of bronze). Besides being much quieter, I think I noticed less stuttering while playing, but I'll have to test that a bit more.

Crash: Music continues to play but system is frozen with heavy graphic anomalies.
If possible, underclock/undervolt the GPU memory.
