Hello @b4raba, this is an nVidia driver issue. The proprietary nVidia driver requires that the currently running kernel module version, the 64 bit userspace library versions, and 32 bit library versions match, otherwise this scenario happens. All OpenGL applications hang waiting on the video driver in this situation, which you can verify with glxinfo from mesa-demos.
Please verify that nvidia-dkms, nvidia-utils, and lib32-nvidia-utils have the same version. If you recently updated, you may need to reboot to get the updated kernel module loaded.
This happened to me while trying to play Resident Evil 4 or some other DX8 games. The problem was that, during the upgrade to Ubuntu 22.04, some files from the nvidia 495 drivers were left over. I had files from both the 495 and 515 drivers.
To fix it, I executed the commands to remove the old drivers, their dependencies and reinstall the recommended drivers, if needed:
sudo apt remove nvidia-driver-495
sudo apt autoremove
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
Now I cant boot RE4 and Geometry Wars again :)
I have a similar problem on AMD.
The Client opens up, starts loading its stuff and basically hangs for around 5-15 seconds with this one message displayed over and over. Then it un-freezes and seemingly works.
Sometimes it takes ages.
