With any 387.* driver (387.22, 387.34) Talos Principle hangs during loading with my GeForce GTX 970 (occasionally it seems to load fine with 32bit binary, hard to find a pattern). Following error is always showing in dmesg afterwards:
NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:01:00): 32, Channel ID 00000033 intr 00040000
going back to 384.* driver fixes issue.
Hi,
Which desktop environment are you using?
MATE Desktop but I think it’s not relevant – behavior is the same if I start fresh system with “exec steam” in .xinitrc (so there’s no DE involved).
Maybe related:
Update after installing driver 390.25 – Talos with Vulkan API seems to work fine for me.
Additional note – I get a new Xid issue when trying to enable vsync:
NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:01:00): 41, CCMDs 0000001b 0000b0b5
But that’s not a big issue since game works fine with vsync off.
I am not able to reproduce that Xid, I will keep trying.
Are you running the build 326589 of the game (top-right corner in the main menu)?
The game was recently updated to fix a swapchain re-creation issue, which I think is what fixed your initial bug rather than updating to 390.25. But it could be a different bug.
Confirmed that I’m running 326589.
I have a new finding though – if I enable vsync manually in Talos.ini:
gfx_iWaitVSyncs = 1;
I’m getting again the initial Xid and Talos hangs during startup:
NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:01:00): 32, Channel ID 00000023 intr 00040000
(note that it’s marginally different than in the first post 00000023 vs 00000033)
So seems like vsync is causing it.
What’s your kernel version? I had similar issues until I upgraded from 4.4.0 to 4.13 (Ubuntu 16.04).
All recent comments came from setup based on kernel 4.15.0.
