"Anomaly 2" and "Anomaly: Defenders" fail with GLXBadContextTag

Graphics / Linux Linux

With current NVIDIA drivers from the 415 series the games “Anomaly 2” and “Anomaly: Defenders” are not working any more. After the introduction video the game will crash with the following console output:

X Error of failed request:  GLXBadContextTag
  Major opcode of failed request:  150 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
  Serial number of failed request:  3927
  Current serial number in output stream:  3927

(with varying serial numbers)

When using the 390 driver series or the nouveau driver the games are starting perfectly fine (though it may be necessary to apply the workaround from https://steamcommunity.com/app/282070/discussions/0/610573751159186268/?ctp=4#c530647080133257413 to prevent an infinite loading screen).
This is happening on a Slackware64-current system.

Is this reproducible for anyone?

From your Xorg.0.log:

[    43.173] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
[    43.182] (II) Module glx: vendor="X.Org Foundation"

You’re running Xserver 1.20. Please reinstall your Xserver package, that should fix it.

Thanks for your fast reply!

I reinstalled the xorg-server package and indeed the message from Xorg.0.log disappeared. The problem with Anomaly persists though…

Are you running a self-compiled kernel? It seems to have drm disabled, at least the driver compile log is complaining about a lot of unresolved symbols.
