Big Minecraft issues with latest stable driver 565.77 on Wayland

So far I’ve found 4 issues facing Minecraft with the new 565.77 drivers (on Wayland, I haven’t tested on x11)

1 - When setting minecraft to fullscreen with the F11 key, sometimes it will fullscreen with a black bar below it

2 - Minecraft versions below 1.13 don’t open anymore and crash instantly

3 - When closing Minecraft it doesen’t close, but crashes after around 4 seconds with this message:

4 - If I press F11 fast the app will maximize and umaximize changing it’s window size to become smaller and smaller until it crashes with the same “Update graphics driver” error

This issues were not happening with older version of the driver (550) on Wayland.
Minecraft uses OpenGL
I also have 2 monitors if that means anything

UPDATE:

I’ve tested minecraft with the 570 driver on CachyOS, and those issues are still present.

Very annoying Wayland only bugs.

Another Update:

I’m posting a part of the logs that Minecraft/Java created when the game crashed while unmaximizing (pressing F11)

A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

SIGBUS (0x7) at pc=0x000077b3a5e58f7c, pid=6917, tid=0x000077b51b7ff6c0

JRE version: Java™ SE Runtime Environment (8.0_202-b08) (build 1.8.0_202-b08)

Java VM: Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (25.202-b08 mixed mode linux-amd64 compressed oops)

Problematic frame:

C [libnvidia-glcore.so.570.86.16+0xa58f7c]

So there seems to be something that causes the crash inside of libnvidia-glcore.so.

So the crash here happens when the game is in fullscreen, and to unmaximize it you press the F11 key, and the game instead of unmaximizing it crashes, and those were the logs of that crash.

This crash only happens on wayland.


Also I wanted to mention that the 570 drivers is amazing and it made Wayland much more stable, so keep up the good work!

I tried pressing F11 a few times and the game didn’t crash but it does crash when i exit Minecraft.

Versions tested,:

Yeah I’ve tested newer version of the game doesen’t seem to crash when pressing F11 and they unmaximize correctly, I’ve tested them right now thanks to your comment.

The version I was using is 1.12.2 and that does crash when pressing F11, can you test that?


Edit: for me the crashes when pressing F11 happens on version 1.12.2 and below, if I use version 1.13 and up of the game the crash when pressing F11 don’t happen anymore

@agarplayerarlon It probably needs an older java version than I have… 1.12.2 wont start at all.

disable GLThreadedOptimizations to stop the crash on exit

that’s weird, I’m using openjdk 21.0.6 and the game does boot for me on those older versions, and I have a rtx 4060 and driver 570 too.

You should check if those older versions will boot on x11

I found a workaround to this, just add what ever launcher (such as prism mc) to your steam library and launch it though steam and F11 should work just fine

I’ve just discovered after some more testing that “If I press F11 fast the app will maximize and umaximize changing it’s window size to become smaller and smaller until it crashes with the same “Update graphics driver” error” issue is just related to GNOME, as I don’t have that issue in KDE Plasma Wayland

I am having the same issues on GNOME Fedora 41. Still don’t know how to fix it without doing the Steam workaround which I would much rather avoid.

yeah I hope nvidia will address this soon.

the crashes are caused by “libnvidia-glcore.so.570.86.16+0xa58f7c” the minecraft log says

Hey nvidia developers, here’s my bug report log

nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (451.8 KB)

This log is about the “F11” fullscreen issue in minecraft versions 1.12.2 and older

You’re brilliant. Thanks a lot. This helps me from those annoying crashes on exit.
They persist even in newer library -
Java VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (Red_Hat-21.0.6.0.7-1) (21.0.6+7, mixed mode, sharing, tiered, compressed oops, compressed class ptrs, g1 gc, linux-amd64)
Problematic frame:
C [libnvidia-glcore.so.570.124.04+0xa5911c]

I just add
export __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=0
before starting TLauncher and voila )))
And there are no any other issues with MC on My Fedora 41 (KDE 6.3.3, wayland) F11 works just fine.
Still have some concerns about possible drawbacks from disabling threaded optimization. Hope nvidia will fix the issue so we can live without such crutches. Perhaps this buggy “optimization” should be turned off by default.
For those who suffering from F11-fullscreen bug - I would suggest to try turn off Adaptive sync - it is under Display configuration in KDE. I had freezing issues in MC (in fullscreen mode only) before turned it off too

Everyone, I have tested the new 575 beta driver release and I can confirm they have fixed all of these issues.

The crashes that I have reported are all fixed, and I can open older versions of minecraft too without them crashing

I haven’t tested issues 1 and 4 on gnome, but they don’t happen on kde plasma wayland!

So good job Nvidia!

Hi all,

Please let us know if any of these issues continue to be seen on the 575 beta drivers - 575.51.02.

Thank you

Hi thank you for asking.

I’ve tested the driver on gnome 48 too and issues 1 and 4 still exist, but they only happen on minecraft versions 1.13 and newer.

the crashes are fixed and now I can open and play older versions of minecraft, so that’s great!

video of the issues 1 and 4:

basically in the video I start by testing minecraft 1.12.2 version and the f11 issue, and as you can see in the video everything works correctly when pressing f11.

then I test minecraft 1.13 and 1.21.4, and when pressing f11 the window starts shrinking until it just becomes the titlebar, and if I keep pressing f11 then minecraft will crash

but these issues only happen on gnome, they don’t happen on kde plasma, although they only happen on versions of minecraft 1.13 and newer, so maybe it’s an issue related to nvidia + xwayland + gnome as minecraft is running on xwayland

This is the log I’ve got after the crash

nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (749.5 KB)

and this is the log I’ve got during the crash

nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (862.4 KB)

I’ve also noticed a new issue with these 575 beta drivers, with minecraft versions older than 1.13, whenever I press f11 to unmaximize it, the window will unmaximize and appear on the right edge of my second monitor, instead of apprearing on my primary monitor

this happens both on kde plasma and gnome.

nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (566.0 KB)

This is how it looks like in my second monitor when I unmaximize minecraft in my primary monitor:

Also I don’t know if this is normal behavior or not but if I try to maximize minecraft in my second monitor I literally can’t, because it keeps maximizing in my main monitor instead of the second one even if I press f11 when the window is in my second monitor

this last issue that I’ve reported happens both on wayland and on x11 weirdly enough
