#Horrifying eldritch wayland bug

I am unable to get into a single player world. Every time I attempt to do so, my entire system freezes shortly after spark logs that it has started the background profiler.

I've tested to see if this happens on the latest release, and also on the latest 0.13 dev build, and have confirmed that it doesn't happen in a plain Forge 1.20.1 instance with embeddium installed, and doesn't happen in Liminal Industries as an example of a different relatively complex modpack on the same version/platform.

Unfortunately, I believe the actual source of this crash is outside of the game itself, so nothing useful ends up in the game's logs. Even debug.log has nothing to go off of.

The only real information I have is that it happens consistently (100% of the time) with Monifactory and I've never experienced it with another pack.

In the meantime, while I wait for someone to read this, I'm gonna try to binary search to find which release version introduced this bug, as I played Monifactory on the same setup fine about a year ago.

#

okay nevermind, even 0.8.0 crashes and that's the last version i played

#

so either
a. something on my system changed that only broke monifactory and nothing else
b. playing singleplayer instead of connecting to a server is somehow the cause

#

both possibilities fill my heart with dread to try and debug

#

for now im just gonna update my system and pray

#

ok

#

what version is known to be broken

#

and what DE are you using with wayland

what graphics card are you rocking?

fathom cosmos
#

nvidia 2080 super

#

pretty sure i'm using proprietary drivers but i'll check and make sure

#

might be using nvidia-open or something instead

#

okay i've been using nvidia-dkms 5.80, gonna see if swapping that out for nvidia-open makes any difference

lethal terrace
#

ok

#

I have AMD integrated graphics

#

on my laptop

fathom cosmos
#

the worst part of all of this is that nothing gets logged to journalctl either

lethal terrace
#

buh

fathom cosmos
#

yeah im just completely blind here i have no idea wtf is going on

#

its insane to me that a minecraft modpack of all things could do this to my computer and not like the finals or something

#

and even then, only this one specific modpack that afaik does very little system level fiddling

lethal terrace
#

this happens when you try to use spark?

#

or?

fathom cosmos
#

nah it just happens as i load into the world

#

afaik its just a coincidence that the last thing logged is a message from spark

lethal terrace
#

try removing spark

fathom cosmos
#

i suppose i could check anyway yeah

#

god if it was spark at fault somehow i think i would lose it

#

at some point im just gonna see what happens when i run the pack under i3

#

THERE'S NO FUCKING WAY

#

HOW

lethal terrace
#

seems to only happen with discrete GPUs

#

which is why I survived

fathom cosmos
#

that is an insane bug

#

complete system freeze from a minecraft profiler mod that only happens when using a dGPU

#

welp

lethal terrace
#

lmfao

#

just remove spark

fathom cosmos
#

i did

#

and the game does in fact run completely fine now

lethal terrace
#

I assume you were using arch?

fathom cosmos
#

yeah i'm on arch linux

lethal terrace
#

append "that only occurs on arch linux"

fathom cosmos
#

my main thing is idek what moni should do in this situation

lethal terrace
#

close the issue and beg the spark people to fix it

fathom cosmos
#

because like this issue is totally outside of moni's scope but also people are going to run into it while trying to play lmao

#

maybe if spark updates there can be a 0.12.10 hotfix that just updates spark lmao

lethal terrace
#

not many people use arch with dGPUs tho

lethal terrace
#

I don't think

fathom cosmos
#

wait what?

lethal terrace
#

main branch already has 0.13 changes

#

so we will have to wait until 0.13

fathom cosmos
#

it's bleak

#

i pray that not very many other people will experience this

arch latest kernel crashes on a few minecraft modpacks, actually had to downgrade to 6.16.7-arch1-1 which is the latest working version I beleive

Might or might not be what you are dealing with

fathom cosmos
#

disabling spark would also have fixed it

#

as opposed to downgrading the kernel
