[Linux] General Protection Fault after 5 min in-game
Your system information
- System information from steam (
Steam->Help->System Information) in a gist: - Have you checked for system updates?: Yes
- Are you using the latest stable video driver available for your system? No, using mesa-git
- Have you verified the game files?: Yes
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Describe what you expected should happen and what did happen. Please link any large pastes as a Github Gist. I've been struggling with my client crashing mid-game for the past two weeks. The game will freeze, the music will continue, and after a few seconds the client will close. System logs show a General Protection Fault:
traps: GlobPool/3[112852] general protection fault ip:7f61017ce750 sp:7f61275feaf0 error:0 in libclient.so[7f60fd800000+5acb000]
the library varies from crash to crash

I'm certain that it is not related to libX11 as I'm currently on libX11-1.8.4 which reverted the patch that broke dota and other steam games. I also tested forcing Dota to use wayland by LD_PRELOADing my system's libSDL2, using the SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland env var, and using openGL to make that work.
The issue persists regardless of my mesa version, kernel version, whether vulkan or openGL is used, whether I'm on wayland or X11, what DE I'm using, or any other variable I can think of so far.
Now to be fair, my Gentoo system is entirely built using clang (minus glibc and the gcc toolchain), and almost entirely built with O3 and LTO, but that shouldn't break too much here since we're still using the Steam Linux Runtime right? Dota is also the only game I have that crashes like this.
Here is a condump of my latest crash:
(Matches the librendersystemgl.so gpf from above) https://gist.github.com/thrifty-txt/2a25f55367715ad5962a045bed945981
Steps for reproducing this issue:
- Fire up a lobby with bots and play for about 5 minutes until the client crashes.
On latest update (pre-Lima Major) still crashing.

Did you fixed this issue?
I have the same symptoms in any game on Arch (Including Dota and some proton games)
