I had a previous post about how the game and computer would freeze when using my controller. This is now resolved, the controller no longer freezes the computer, but I’m still getting weird visual artifacts in games, and one game (Assassin’s Creed Rogue) is freezing, which seems to be triggered when I enable the eagle vision. I’ve already played 20 hours without a single crash or issue until this recent system update.

I’ve got an up to date Nobara installation, using the Gnome version. Nobara is based on Fedora with some gaming related things pre-installed. It’s running on an OG Framework laptop, so it’s Intel integrated graphics but it has been working great until now.

I’m running Assassin’s Creed Rogue through Steam. I have tried running the game using the experimental proton but that didn’t help.

Anyone got ideas for further troubleshooting? The best I’ve got is that it might be shader related, as in Hades the lighting is weird and in Assassin’s Creed Rogue it’s enabling eagle vision that triggers it to freeze. I have tried disabling the pre-cached shaders and it doesn’t help, I’ve enabled it to trigger re-generation of them but it didn’t help.

Any ideas?

Edit: I sort of solved this. It seems to be related to GNOME, when running the KDE Plasma desktop environment it doesn’t crash. So I guess I’m using KDE until that gets resolved.

    I don’t have a spare external drive 😭. I tried installing on a flash drive and the game still crashed, but the whole thing was so slow I can’t be sure of the cause.

    I tried to create a partition on my drive and install bazzite but apparently it doesn’t like that so I dunno 🤷. I guess I might try installing Mint on the partition and see how that goes.
