[3.0 HF1 SV | LINUX] Game crashes/hangs when exiting after playing

Post by wasted90 »

linux client 3.0 HF SV, german language, steam
no mods/ scripts
gamestarts 'der junge aufsteiger', 'sengende niederlage'

everytime i close X4, after playing, the game isn't terminated normally. right after i get back to the desktop systemd-coredump is running and sptitting a 300 - 500 MB dumpfile of the 'Main()'-process in /var/lib/systemd/coredump.
this is really annoying behavior since my computer becomes pretty unresponsive for half of a minute during the creation of the dump-file. if i start the game and close it directly without actually playing, the issue could not be observed.

i have first encountered this issue in january during 3.0 beta when i started playing X4.

crashdump, steam system report, vulkaninfo & glxinfo here

arch linux
kernel 5.5.13-zen2-1-zen, also happen with standart distribution kernel '5.5.13.arch2-1'
I5-3570k @ 4,5
8GB Ram DDR 3
GTX 1050-ti

EDIT: forgot steam-console-output. added it to the google drive folder.

Not as a fix but as a potential workaround, see this (ironwill). That thread is probably where this should be.

i think using a debugger to analyze the games behavior is not a potential workaround. especially not for me :D

as i first encountered this, i made a post in the linux support forum. responses where negative, it seemed that i'm the only one with that issue and have to deal with it. anyway i wrote timon a mail on 08.01.2020 with the crashdumps. unfortunately i got no response.

since it came up again yestarday in the linux support forum, two others confirming that this is an issue i thought it would deserve its own topic, in case others encounter it, looking it up with google etc. additianally the forum rules says that 1 issue = 1 topic, so why not for linux related issues?

Primarily because Timon the Linux guru tracks and reads new posts in the Linux thread and not so much the rest of the forum.
