Visual Bugs on Ubuntu with Intel GPU

[ⅧⅧⅧⅧⅧⅧⅧⅧⅧⅧⅧⅧⅧⅧⅧⅧⅧⅧⅧⅧⅧ]

While playing with an Intel Arc A750 on Linux, the game is generally unstable, and has obvious visual bugs:

This GPUInfo report: https://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/displayreport.php?id=32194 is my system. Happy to post any other program outputs you'd like me to.

Linux and ARC dangerous combination for an alpha lol

Try the latest driver https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/785597/intel-arc-iris-xe-graphics-windows.html

Linking a Windows driver for a Linux computer is unfortunately not helpful. The Ubuntu driver on the Intel website hasn't been updated in months:



So downloading this would probably downgrade my drivers. Would have a better time compiling and installing from Mesa myself.

Thanks for accidentally binging my attention to the images being broken, though.

I wrote about this in a different thread since a lot of people seem to have issues with the graphical rendering pipeline integration of the vulkan renderer. So what you have to do is.

Step 1. Downgrade to version 415.68 nvidia drivers, if youre an amd you will need to fetch the latest patches from the kernel repository around 2023 at october since the newer linux kernel drivers are kinda messed up because of amd.

Step 2. If you are on kde you have to uninstall the compositor and compile the latest one from here https://github.com/KDE/kwin.
I would recommend to build with -O3 for lower latency.

Step 3. If you have any desktop icons on your desktop remove them immediately since kde has a weird bug that they still havent fixed where vulkan applications are flickering. Gnome should be fine however due to certain circumstances you may have to uninstall your extensions.

Step 4. Check the console if theres a lot of warnings showing up please type clear it will help with the framerate probably some printf crt c runtime bug from the latest arch linux kernel version.

Let me know if that fixed your issue.

I have the same issue with intel Iris XE, it's clearly not restrticted to just ARC

I have the same issue, intel iris XE, 11th gen i7, fedora 35

Try the latest driver https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/785597/intel-arc-iris-xe-graphics-windows.html

please read the thread. we are on linux

the character occasionally becomes visible in specific circumstances, like when the camera gets extremely close to them, or when on this side of that gateway thing.
this is on DX11, vulkan does not seem to load

• Cake

I'm on fedora, with the Mate desktop, so it's not a KDE or ubuntu issue either, and probably not one of not having the latest drivers
also. vulkan flat out does not load on my system.

Another one with Iris Xe here, same issues.

I found that enabling Proton fixed the dark effects on terrain, but hero characters are still invisible.

We don't have nVidia or AMD drivers, so unless someone can recomment some MESA drivers or modify the Vulkan engine, we might just be out of luck.

 

[dtrodr]

I am having this issue of invisible character models with Intel ARC A770. I'm using Fedora 40 with Gnome, using MESA 24.1.6-1.fc40.

I also tried a development version as a hail mary but no luck (24.3.0-0.3.20240827.00.7255c5e.fc40 from Copr https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/xxmitsu/mesa-git/)

 

[uwuSiri]

I can reproduce on my system too - steam system info dump is (slightly shortened)
I have the dark textures when using DX11, but on Vulkan I only have various models randomly missing.
Running on Proton Experimental and with the launch options gamemoderun %command% -vulkan
Source 2 should be able to build for Linux native (DOTA2, CS2, Aperture Desk Job i guess) - so I remain hopeful that we should get a native build.
In some ways I regret my Arc purchase (there are a lot of bugs that just don't occur on nVidia or AMD), but apart from with various proton things, this GPU is pretty powerful.

I'll add my thread as an additional resource

@uwuSiri I kind of started feeling that way as well, though my exact experience feels like the cards while good on Linux against Windows 1-2 years ago, they got somewhat stagnant as far as I understand a few things (though might be wrong). Still if not one game, there's plenty others so I don't despair.

Not to offtop, the issue seems to still remain, but now playing around with other characters, I notice a thing that might not be a huge secret here, but I think it hasn't been noted in the thread yet. There's a number of heroes who are actually visible, even if somewhat see-through. From my testing these are:

• Abrams
• Dynamo
• Haze
• Infernus
• Ivy (as an example in attachments)
• Lady Geist
• Lash
• Paradox
• Shiv
• Vindicta
• Viscous
• Warden
• as a honorable mention characters who have some local effect going on, such as Seven or Wraith

Interestingly it's more than a half of all available.
I honestly thought that maybe that's some z-index issue as apparently minions are visible, but they then get covered by stuff like some window textures. But I'm not sure if that explains why some hero models are visible and others are not. It might also be some more complex issue where the above is true together with other factors, but it's all just guessing games.

I've fixed it, here's how to do it:

At this point, there was no action for more than a week, so i decided to fix the issue myself.
Note that I'm using arch, so some package names can differ depending on your distro.

Open the console and clone into the mesa repository using git (install git if you don't have it):

git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa.git

This will create a new directory in ~ folder (your home folder). Go in there with:

cd mesa

Now, you need to get the changes with the code 31042 that fix the bug. This is how you do it:

git fetch origin merge-requests/31042/head

This might not...
