Gamescope + Nvidia driver 570.124.04 will not open Path of Exile 2

[GloriousEggroll]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Are you using any gamescope patches or a forked version of gamescope?

• The issue occurs on upstream gamescope without any modifications

Current Behavior

Trying to run Path of Exile 2 within gamescope, all attempts fail:

gamescope --hdr-enabled -W 3840 -H 2160 -b --mangoapp -- %command%
gamescope -W 3840 -H 2160 -b -- %command%
gamescope -b -- %command%
gamescope -- %command%

Works on previous driver version 570.86.16. Same first command works on other games (tested Avowed and Path of Exile 1)

When running steam from console, gamescope says:

[Gamescope WSI] Forcing on VK_EXT_swapchain_maintenance1.
info:  Memory type mask for sparse resources: 0x2
info:  Memory type mask for buffer resources: 0x1f, usage: 0x219ff
warn:  DXVK: No state cache file found
info:  DXVK: Graphics pipeline libraries supported
[gamescope] [Error] vulkan: vkAllocateMemory failed (VkResult: -2)

Steps To Reproduce

Try running Path of Exile 2 in steam with any of these options:

gamescope --hdr-enabled -W 3840 -H 2160 -b --mangoapp -- %command%
gamescope -W 3840 -H 2160 -b -- %command%
gamescope -b -- %command%
gamescope -- %command%

Hardware information

- Distro: Nobara Linux

I don't think the alloc_font_handle issue is relevant, game works without gamescope.

I see this issue as well with PoE 2 on 570.124.04 with gamescope 3.16.1 on a 4090.

in my dmesg on the open modules, every time gamescope crashes I get this new kernel warning as well from NVRM:

Feb 27 19:22:25 nvidia-arch kernel: NVRM: dmaAllocMapping_GM107: Virtual address 0xACE0000 is not compatible with page size 0x200000 or page offset 0x0.

nvidia-bug-report-open.log.gz

I took a look at the latest driver release notes and I wasn't really seeing anything that suspicious. @cubanismo any ideas if there was something in the release that may have to do with this kernel error?

the closed modules also crash, but without the kernel warning like the open modules:

Thanks for the report. For reference, I've filed NVIDIA internal bug 5138983 to track investigation of this issue.

I'm not currently able to deduce a cause from the info so far, but the nvidia-bug-report logs, the notes about previous driver versions working, and the kernel log error messages will be very helpful in tracking it down. Thanks for including all that info.

Hi all,

I am a member of the NVIDIA QA team and can reproduce the issue on our systems. This is under investigation.

Works on previous driver version 570.86.16

Can you please help confirm if this works on 570.86.16. On our systems, we can reproduce the issue on 570.86.16 as well.

Configuration :- Arch Linux (packages up to date), RTX 3060, 570.86.16, KDE Wayland session, gamescope 3.16.1

Thanks!

hi @abchauhan-nv after double-checking yes, I was able to trigger the crash on 570.86.16 as well. oddly enough, it only started to happen once I toggled HDR from disabled -> enabled on my KDE Wayland session. On the latest driver, I had it go from working to not working in the same boot here:

nvidia-bug-report.log.gz

I'd also maybe recommend verifying against gamescope-git, which you can grab from the AUR. I seem to have a lot more difficulty reproducing the crash on there.
