OS: Arch Linux
Kernel: 7.1.8-arch1-3

GPU:
Intel Meteor Lake integrated graphics

Problem

Street Fighter 6 consistently hangs/crashes after performing a Throw Escape.

The problem is highly reproducible.

This does not appear to be a normal Wine/Proton application crash. The Intel GPU itself stops making progress and the kernel reports a GPU engine timeout followed by an RCS engine reset.

Reproduction

1. Launch Street Fighter 6 using Proton.
2. Enter a match.
3. Perform a Throw Escape.
4. Continue playing.
5. The game eventually hangs/crashes.
6. The Intel GPU engine times out.

Testing

The problem has been reproduced with:

• xe
• i915
• DX11
• DX12
• single queue
• normal/multiple queue configuration
• split-lock detection disabled
• CachyOS kernel
• multiple Intel PCs

The issue remains reproducible.

DX11 also reproduces the same Throw Escape-related failure, so this does not appear to be exclusively a vkd3d-proton/D3D12 problem.

Kernel failure

The Intel kernel driver reports:

Engine reset: engine_class=rcs

followed by:

Timedout job: seqno=73238, lrc_seqno=73238, guc_id=117, flags=0x80 in StreetFighter6

and:

Xe device coredump has been created

Additional Street Fighter 6 jobs time out immediately afterwards.

Proton log

On the DX12 path, the Proton log contains:

vkd3d_memory_transfer_queue_wait_allocation:
Waiting for GPU to clear allocation

followed by:

dxgi_vk_swap_chain_wait_semaphore:
Failed to wait for present semaphore, vr -4

and:

vkd3d_wait_for_gpu_timeline_semaphore:
Failed to wait for Vulkan timeline semaphore, vr -4

The Vulkan failure happens after the GPU stops making forward progress.

Conclusion

The problem appears to be triggered through the Street Fighter 6 rendering workload associated with Throw Escape and ultimately results in an Intel GPU hang.

The kernel/xe driver produces a device coredump when the failure occurs.

I am reporting this because there may be an interaction between Street Fighter 6/Proton and the Intel Meteor Lake graphics stack that is triggering a GPU hang.

Full Proton log, kernel log and xe coredump are available.
