[SOLVED] Issues with Vulkan

[leylanator]

Continued from another post over by Unsupported Software: viewtopic-t-1168878.html

So, I have been having issues with Vulkan as described there.
I'll post some info here:

make.conf:

To note: I use a 6800XT, the WX4100 is meant to be set up later for VFIO and is not yet plugged into any monitor.

vulkaninfo is where something interesting happened, here's the output in a pastebin: https://pastebin.com/bwJDZ3Am
When I was pasting this into a file using;

Code: Select all

echo "$(vulkaninfo)" >> vulkaninfo.txt

it wrote, but also threw out an error:

Code: Select all

ERROR: [../mesa-24.0.6/src/amd/vulkan/radv_physical_device.c:1813] Code 0 : Could not open device /dev/dri/renderD129: Invalid argument (VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER)

Maybe this could be related to what's causing some games to break as soon as 3D graphics are rendered?

Code: Select all

Assertion failed!

Program:
Z:\storage\S3-4TB\extras\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\TEKKEN 8\Polaris\Binaries\Win64\Polaris-Win64\Shipping.exe
File: ../src-wine/dlls/winevulkan/loader_thunks.c
Line: 98

Expression "!status && "vkBeginCommandBuffer""

Press OK to exit the program, or Cancel to start the Wine debugger.

I've also noticed that Red Dead Redemption 2 is flashing white lights a lot, and it's in Vulkan rendering mode. So I'm thinking I've got issues with Vulkan, rather than the previously expected WINE or Steam Proton - though, either of them could also have their own, separate or related, problems.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated

Try enabling Resizable BAR in BIOS, see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/3343

It's looking like I need to update my BIOS, as I'm using the 2019 version. What's a good way of doing it? I don't want to unintentionally brick my motherboard is why I ask.
I'm thinking of borrowing a friend's Windows machine to flash the BIOS files onto a thumb drive, since I don't want to risk messing anything up.

Looks like I'll have to play affected games in Debian for the time being, looking like it's a kernel bug?

If you are going to use the wx4100 only for vfio, then set it so that the amdgpu driver doesn't grab it.
I would set up vfio pci id options in /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf

I don't believe that polaris based chips work with vulkan.

I decided to format a spare USB I had with FAT32, and extract the motherboard BIOS files in to update from the BIOS settings screen, and it updated just fine.
However, I'm still experiencing the same issues, even after disabling CSM (I don't know how to check if resizable bar is enabled, but it supposedly is for Gigabyte boards by default unless CSM is enabled).

Yeah I'll have to get this done at some point anyways, so it's best to get it done and see if that also has the bonus of fixing my issues.

Alright, so I've managed not to set up VFIO properly, which I'll get done in its own time, but what I had managed to do was to not find where Resizable BAR settings were in my BIOS. Apparently they were under Misc settings that I missed out! So, while I was in my BIOS settings, I'd found "Above 4G Decoding" was, in fact, there and disabled (I had assumed it was a default unchanging setting). I enabled it and enabled the setting that spawned from it for Resizable BAR. Might have never found that incidentally during my VFIO setup perusing.
Games are working fine now! I'll even post the solution in the previous forum topic I was on.

BIOS update needed (just drag extracted files into a FAT32 flash drive under 32GB, go into BIOS, update from the Q-Flash utility while the flash drive is plugged in (make sure you don't need a specific USB slot, refer to motherboard manual)), (assuming you're using EFI boot) CSM has to be disabled, then in Misc settings the Above 4G Decoding setting has to be enabled for then Resizable BAR support to be set to auto rather than disabled.
