VK_KHR_present_wait Issues - Stuck-Frames in WineWayland & Gamescope

tlneondo · March 6, 2025, 2:58pm

Has there been any update on the VK_KHR_present_wait issues that are causing lockups in gamescope and the wine wayland driver?

Although there is a workaround for gamescope, this will be a problem when Wine switches to the Wine-Wayland driver.

The last update we got outside of dev circles was cubanismo creating ticket #4924590 on this thread.

[NVIDIA] frames stop being presented (and appear to hang) sporadically when using the WSI layer and VK_KHR_present_wait

### Is there an existing issue for this? - [X] I have searched the existing i…ssues ### Are you using any gamescope patches or a forked version of gamescope? - [X] The issue occurs on upstream gamescope without any modifications ### Current Behavior Some games, especially Sony PlayStation ports, seem to hang and stop presenting frames even while game audio remains in the background. The most consistent repro I have of this now is with God of War: Ragnarok, with the launch option: `gamescope --hdr-enabled -e -f -h 2160 -w 7680 -r 120 -- %command%` around 50% of the time, the game will hang at some point within the first 20-30 seconds or so. will include screenshots of what this looks like + in-game settings ### Steps To Reproduce 1. Launch God of War: Ragnarok with `gamescope --hdr-enabled -e -f -h 2160 -w 7680 -r 120 -- %command%` 2. Attempt to load the game 3. If gamescope hangs on one frame, while otherwise remaining responsive, you've hit the issue If you don't freeze on launch and load-in, try quitting and re-launching 1-2 more times. ### Hardware information ```markdown - Distro: Arch Linux - CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900K - GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 - Driver Version: NVIDIA 565.57.01 ``` ### Software information ```markdown - Desktop environment: Plasma 6.2.1 - Session type: Wayland - Gamescope version: 3.15.13 - Gamescope launch command(s): `gamescope --hdr-enabled -e -f -h 2160 -w 7680 -r 120 -- %command%` ``` ### Which gamescope backends have the issue you are reporting? - [X] Wayland (default for nested gamescope) - [X] DRM (default for embedded gamescope, i.e. gamescope-session) - [ ] SDL - [ ] OpenVR ### Logging, screenshots, or anything else After gamescope hangs: ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1160bf67-1bac-4691-be73-64376e809a78) in-game settings from a successful launch (no changes from the hang): ![Screenshot_20241022_150829](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f51451c9-9e20-46f2-9b08-739079cd3a3d) bug report immediately after a hang: [nvidia-bug-report.log.gz](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/17482658/nvidia-bug-report.log.gz) Proton log from a hang: [steam-2322010.tar.gz](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/17482661/steam-2322010.tar.gz)
