Hello @CaioFrancisco, no OpenGL application including Steam should be capable of freezing the entire system. This reads like a video driver issue and should be reported to your video driver vendor if it hasn't been already.
I figured out this solution has a drawback: it requires more memory allocation and performance. And that might've been what ended up crashing my whole system. Thank you for answering though.
Sorry for re-opening the issue after 1 month, but I've discovered a "patch" to the issue. It turns out that the little patch I used overwrote the "Device" section completely on the default Xorg configuration. This means it sets the "DRI" back to whatever it was before it was set to "3". The main issue is that Vulkan relies on the DRI 3, and since DRI isn't 3, it doesn't work correctly. Although this was an user error, I would like a small patch that just makes a check to see if the DRI is 3 so it doesn't eat the RAM away until Steam gives a segmentation fault. And yes, turning DRI to 3 solved the issue.
nobody is deserving of a 2y issue. i already switched from ubuntu to windows last time i got a new computer.
Nothing extracted yet.
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Under certain conditions, Steam after logging into my account, freezes the entire computer. The mouse gets frozen, the screen gets frozen, all applications are extremely slow, if not outright frozen too. And the Steam window never appears. Until i close all Steam instances, theses symptoms won't disappear, until, of course, Steam gives a segmentation fault (if requested, I'll provide the multiple core dumps.)
