Hello,
Whenever I try to play any source game, after a period of time it will crash. The period of crashing is random, as it can crash in a few minutes, or take half an hour. I can't switch to a TTY, or use SYSRQ.
Things I have tried to do:
Disable Steam In-Game Overlay,
Run Steam without runtime,
Try three different desktop environments,
Use prerelease of source games,
Downgrade Catalyst drivers,
Dmesg, Journalctl, Xorg log, they show no errors.
SSH works during the freeze.
Added more swap space to see if it's a memory leak.
Compositing off.
Play in Windowed mode.
As you correctly are thinking, none of those things helped.
It is impossible to get a backtrace as it freezes, and trying to write to a file also cuts off. I will try starting Steam through SSH with the DISPLAY variable in a moment.
