    Hogwarts Legacy
  • Steam AppID of the game:
    990080

System Information

I confirm:

  • [x] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
  • [x] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

added this to launch options however a file is not generated

Symptoms

steam client exits (crashes?) when vulkan shaders gets to 10%

Reproduction

launch game, processing vulkan shaders starts, gets to 10% then client crashes

I can avoid the crash if I click Skip before it gets to 10%
I have tried deleting the contents of steamapps/compatdata/990080/pfx/drive_c/ProgramData/Hogwarts Legacy

Hello @erpadmin, Steam's shader pre-caching subcomponent is handled by the Steam client, not Proton itself, so I've transferred this issue report to the steam-for-linux issue tracker.

There's a known memory leak in mesa 23.1.6 (specifically) which should hopefully be resolved in the next point release of mesa. It's most likely that memory leak which is leading to the kernel OOM killing Steam.

I also have a crash on the Help->Steam Runtime diagnostics (assuming this used to be Steam System Information?) and the journalctl gpu fault errors correlate to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/9267#issuecomment-1472222755

mesa 23.1.7 has released to manjaro stable and fixes this issue and #9267 for me
