After f37 upgrade, video games crash and require hard reboot

I upgraded to f37 yesterday. Seemed like the smoothest fedora upgrade I’ve had in years. Until I tried to play warthunder today. When I try to play, a few minutes into a match the screen goes all crazy and the system stops taking input. I have to hard reboot.

I saw there was an amggpu firmware update in dnf, so I updated. Tried again and still required a hard reboot.
abrt links me to this which has almost 15k of the same backtrace in 24 hours
https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/reports/525689/

It looks like neofetch detects my gpu incorrectly as a generic rx 6800 while gnome detects it as a rx 6900 xt correctly.

seems like whatever the problem is it is affecting around 8k people.

so I discovered that if I play windows at medium or lower this doesnt happen. If I play on high it hard locks the computer.

Hi,
I have a similar problem.
Gnome session (with wayland) restarts as soon as I play a video in full screen (with vlc or via web browser).

i have a laptop LENOVO Legion 5 15ACH6H with AMD Ryzen 7 5800H and two praphic cards
Device-1: NVIDIA GA104M [GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile / Max-Q] driver: new
v: kernel
Device-2: AMD Cezanne [Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Mobile Series]
driver: amdgpu v: kernel

In my case, the problem appeared two days after F37 update, when i have done an update including gnome-shell and many firmwares :

i have just noticed :
if i play a video in full screen mode with firefox browser, no problem
if i play a video in full scrren mode with vivaldi web browser or with vlc, gnome session restarts.

i have theses messages in logfile :

I have the same problem on Fedora Workstation 37: On Wayland the machine locks completely, on X11 it some times locks, some times freezes just the game, some times the game and Steam.
I tested a clean install with KDE and on Wayland the same is happening: full system lock, X11 during the tests (2-3 day for hours) it just froze the game once or twice.

Nvidia GPUs require the nvidia driver when using graphics intensive apps such as games or videos since the nouveau driver does not support hardware acceleration.

Forcing the cpu into software acceleration is almost certain to cause a system hang on many systems as the cpu becomes overloaded.

Of course using higher resolutions is more demanding on everything.

None have reported details about the hardware or software involved, so there is no way to provide assistance, and having 4 people that say “me too” does not lead to a solution since it is distracting for the OP and any potential solutions suggested.

I suggest the OP provide us the output of inxi -Fzxx inside the </> preformatted text tags so we can see more detail about the hardware and software involved; and that the others wait to see what the outcome may be or start your own threads with the same info provided.

I have solved my problem.
The problem was caused by the latest versions of the “Mutter” and “gnome-shell” packages (43.2-1.fc37)

I downgraded these 2 packages (to version 43.0-3.fc37 for gnome-shell and 43.0-4.fc37 for mutter).

This error message indicates that there was a problem with the communication between the listener and the message channel. The reason is that sendMessage is now promisified internally, so you can ‘await’ it, but the by-product is that when you don’t specify a callback yourselves, it is added internally anyway in order for the call to return a Promise, which means that since you don’t call sendResponse in onMessage, the API will think that it was you who made a mistake of using a callback and not providing a response, and report it as such.

Since the new behaviour is very confusing for almost everyone, a solution might be to stop showing this error when the callback is not specified, however it might cause confusion for those developers who still use callbacks and forgot to call sendResponse inside onMessage by mistake, which should be reported ideally as it always was.

If you see your extension causing this errors - inspect closely all your onMessage listeners. Some of them probably need to start returning promises (marking them as async should be enough).

If still error showing, try disabled all installed extensions in Chrome then you will get a clear console without errors.
