Jinini: -Hollow Knight. (…)
vv221: Are you playing the native Linux build, or the Windows one through WINE (or Valve’s branded WINE, Proton)?
Native Linux currently, I tried with the windows one briefly at first but since it also did that sort of lagging stacato thing on the first 2 startup scenes b4 title screen, I thought it would be the same regardlesss. But I will give it a proper try too one of these days and see!
Jinini: Will look and post if i see it next time it crashes ty:)
dnovraD: Oh, and it may not be an actual crash. You can either try jumping to a different tty, (CTRL + ALT F1-F6) or the magic SysReq REISUB combo, to see if you can rattle the system into a savable/rebootable state
cleanly. I didnt know about the sysreg stuff. I will look at that and see if i can figure it out ty. The other thing I have tried and it never responsd to that either when it does it:s
Jinini: Not sure if its overclocked, I dont think it is, how do see this pls? But also, why would that afffect only cutscene stuff and only in some games then?
This is the only thing I can find with overclocking stuff in my nvidia panel, I dont remember ever changing anything here:
https://ibb.co/Fkgpbxd6 Since u mention the not enough voltage stuff, would me charging powerbanks same time I play affect it like this?
But then again, why only during some cutscenes, and in some games and not always? My electricity is problem from the powersocket?
I have def charged powerbanks b4 tho without this happening and for many yrs but its worth testing, i will unplgu all uneeded and see if it crash again when I sit down in a bit:)
Dark_art_: If the system it's not overclocked then it doesn't matter, my bad.
The voltage I was refering to is not the house voltage of the sorts but the converted (several times) voltage that the GPU core need to sustain determined frequency. The CPU, RAM, VRAM and other components works the same way, the higher the frequency, the more volts it needs generally speaking.
When overclocking/undervolting or with older degraded hardware (GPU intensive used for crypto mining are a good example) it's very common to crash on changing power state, like starting or exiting the game, pause menu or cinematics, instead of intensive 3D scenes.
Sorry if this sounds a bit over the head but the symptoms are very similar. In your case, if the stability issues only started after installing a new system, well, the issue must be software related...
Hmmm. It does sound kinda like what happens tho if u say that can happen.
I was just looking around for overclocking stuff and it says u can do it also from the BIOS. I will take a look at this what it says there after dinner. I dont remember messing with anything there in that regard but will look!
A few HIGH quality pics of some of the BIOS settings. Everything is pretty much set to auto or default, but that power saving one is disabled, not sure if thats default or me and if could be this?
https://ibb.co/MxWz0SSJ https://ibb.co/Vcs0LBLg If u look at this random posts here, similar issue, diff game! No one ever seem to find a solution to this problem lol, but many report this its so weird!
And there are a lot of these pots out there, its beyond frustrating:)

I honestly dont remember everything i have tried by now for all these games to this date, a post here suggest try this, a random comment mention this or that so I tried that, nothing worked.
But what i DO remember trying, mainly for Subnautica since HK only just started happening with this + some of this also for Stranded Sails:
Changed and tried multiple resolutions and windows systems such as win 10 win 8 win xp, through the winetricks settings in Heroic and Lutris or default. I tried virtual desktop option too. I remember my old Steam version of HK I ran without steam only worked with Virtual DE on or it would stop responding in game. This is no issue on the GOG HK version tho.
I have tried all options that seemed remotely plausible in the Heroic/Lutris settings such as 'prefer system libraries' , enable/disable dxvk or dgvoodoo2 and all those graphic options i dont know what half of it but tried it anyway one by one.
What I havent tried fully maybe, is some of those in specific combinations or downloaded other specific lib stuff that I might need/miss, but I dont know about this stuff well enough to know where to even begin.
I have also installed all those ms visual c++ libraries through the launcher I use for the game, also did dibbly squat. But maybe there are other ms libs I shuold try tht is related to media stuff?
I also send in 'report game not working' logs for lutris/heroic.
I remember that the Subnautica game file that now dont work, worked fine when I was using Manjaro bk then. I have since changed around a few times, and it never worked on CachyOS or the current EndeavourOS. I cant remember if I tried the game when I was using Garuda but I think not.
Maybe Manjaro has something specific the others dont?
Or it cold be a total coincidence! I dont think this has anything to do with it tho tbh.
What I DID notice for Hollow Knight last night tho when messing with a few things, is that vsync ON is NOT good for that game at all, it gives me a delay in movement. FPS cap ON is the way to go in that game.
This usually feels like the opposite in most other games and I normally play with vsync ON whenever possible, tho at the same time I also tend to limit FPS to 60 where possible.
But in HK u cant do both, its one of the other,
My screen is a standard 1920 1080 60hrz, no fancy stuff:)
Ty for trying so far!:)
I really hope I can sort this out, and especially get Subnautica working b/c I miss it so very much.
But I refuse to rejoin that other platform for it ;o
I could pirate it ofc and try that way but Im not a fan or believer in this approach and would really hate to have to be forced to do that and I have so far resisted trying for 4 yrs or so.
Even tho I did alr pay for the game ofc so I guess one could argue its less of a moral issue in this case, but Im not happy about that thought + there is also the risk of malware etc too and my baby is precious. I curse enough everytime EOS manage to sneak in and the paranoid me panics and feel like doing a real life name change every time xD
