Bug ID: 489854
Summary: Wayland crashing games and other apps
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.1.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: compositing
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: tarapicc...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
I know this is a bug, just not for what component. When playing games on Steam
and using the Wayland desktop, if i am recording my screen or streaming over
discord, after a minute or two the game, steam, and the recording app crashes.
I don't know how to obtain a crash report since no crash report dialog pops up,
and this involves multiple applications. I will provide the steps I know
reproduce it, and will specify the game I was trying to play. I am sure it has
nothing to do with the game, and X11 works perfectly, but lacks some of the
nice new features Wayland has.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch Vesktop (I use this one because screen-sharing with audio on linux)
2. Launch steam
3. Screenshare the whole desktop
4. Launch Resident Evil 7
5. Play for a minute
6. Everything crashes.
OBSERVED RESULT
Crashes - It specifically says wayland crashes
EXPECTED RESULT
No crashes.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: Garuda
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I don't know if this is a bug with Vesktop, Wayland, Plasma, or all of the
above. I get different behavior on X11 than on Wayland. I do know if i am not
recording the screen or sharing it, the game does not crash, however the FPS is
absolutely terrible in wayland.
