Hello, i've struggled a bit with issues while playing Gray Zone Warfare, that the game either feezes for a few seconds or outright crashes due to, what looks like, issues with memory allocation / management. The general behaviour was that after some time playing, there is a amdgpu: [gfxhub] page fault visible in the journal. Depending on display server and WM / DE, i observed a recover (second long freeze of the game while using Qtile on X11) or game crashes because it can't recover (both X11 and Wayland, tested with Cinnamon and Gnome).
I started to look into memory because of the page_fault and because the issue happens faster if i set the "Texture Resolution" to "High" or "Epic". But it still happens with lower settings, it just takes more time. I am also able to "reproduce" this by just logging into the game with mentioned settings.
The Proton versions i tested it with and was able to reproduce are:
Proton 9.0-3 (log below)
Proton Experimental ('normal' and bleeding-edge)
GE-Proton9-{14,17,18,20}
What i found was following message appearing in the proton log file only for the affected versions:
:warn:vkd3d-proton:vkd3d_allocate_device_memory: Memory allocation failed, falling back to system memory.
And in reference to this i also found my "solution", because this seemed to have happened with Hades II, which was to switch to Proton 8.0-5.
Whats interesting to me and why i open this report here is that the VRAM allocation warning only appears with the affected versions. But i am able to play for hours with Proton 8, which tells me that this is neither a Game issue nor a Hardware issue.
