[SOLVED] X Server crashes (apparently) randomly when playing Counterstrike Global Offensive

Takios · November 22, 2014, 1:38am

Hello,

when playing CS:GO, the X Server will hang up after some time.
I have not yet accomplished replicating the issue reliably, for me it is totally random.
This is the output from Steam after the crash happened: [url]https://gist.github.com/Takios/91e8c9aed5f8b3947f23[/url]

This is the output from the X Server: [url]https://gist.github.com/Takios/e76fab03b3142a78f5ac[/url]
The backtrace includes the nvidia drivers but I am not sure if they are the source of the crash.

Haven’t had this problem with other applications so I already reported it to the CS:GO Linux guys but to no avail yet ([url]https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Counter-Strike-Global-Offensive/issues/203[/url]).

I’d be glad if someone could help me or point me to the right place for this.

Greetings
Takios

Takios, Did you test with drivers 346.16 , 343.22 , 340.17 ? What desktop environment your are running - like gnome, kde ete ? I think you have connected 3 displays , Is this reproduce with only one monitor connected to gpu ? Also default nvidia xorg.conf file has not been generated ? nouveau is not blacklisted ? can you only just play the game and find at what point its crashing ? Any specific settings done in game?

Hello sandipt,

thanks for your time.
Sadly, I had no luck getting those driver versions to work with their .run script, the X Server won’t start with them installed (quits saying that it cannot find any devices). I will continue trying though.
Currently, I’m using the driver from the repository ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/13.2/ , I don’t know what it does differently than the .run script, but it works.

I’m using Gnome with 3 displays, one of them disabled most of the time. Will try to reproduce the error with only 1 display connected.
My xorg.conf is generated by nvidia and nouveau is blacklisted.

Though modprobe -c | grep nouveau gives:

blacklist nouveau
alias pci:v000010DEd*sv*sd*bc03sc*i* nouveau
alias pci:v000012D2d*sv*sd*bc03sc*i* nouveau

Does that mean it gets loaded anyway?

Addressing the ingame settings, I have been gradually lowering them with every crash, but to no avail. It makes no difference. Crashes happen even on the lowest settings.

Again, thank you for your time.

Greetings,
Takios

Just crashed again while clicking something in the Buy menu and found some new messages in the logs:

I guess the pulseaudio messages are only a symptom and the XID 8 error is the cause.
http://docs.nvidia.com/deploy/xid-errors/index.html lists this as “GPU stopped processing” which does not help me at all debugging this :/

I attached a new nvidia bug report log.

Hello, I’m experiencing similar issues. CS:GO is freezing

from above version I’ve tried 346.16 and 343.22. not sure about the last one, but definitely used some around that since this issue with me for a few weeks/months
KDE
same thing happens with 1 monitor only
not using noveau

I’ve made more extensive post over on CS:GO steam forums:

as a conclusion, this seems to be a problem of steam+cs:go combination. Other steam games (cs:s, antichamber) don’t freeze, but adding a non-steam game (Strife) to steam produces freezes.

So an update to this one. I’ve had 660Ti and upgraded it to 970GTX. When I plugged it in, the GLX extension didn’t want to work (on the same version of drivers as before). After a bit of digging I’ve found that X.org loads its default libGL instead of nVidia’s. Reinstalling drivers didn’t work, so I did the following 3 things at the same time

removed nVidia drivers and installed them back in fresh
rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
switched to opengl interface and back to nvidia in gentoo’s eselect

and restarted X

… one of those (or a combination of them) did the trick, I can run CS:GO on maximum details, I’ve experienced no freezes since then (~16 hours of play).
