It’s probably this recent bug in kernel/mesa. https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/linux/-/issues/47
You need to downgrade your kernel or wait for the fix…
Confirm that ‘Above 4G Decoding’ and ‘Resizable BAR Support’ is set to on in your BIOS first!
Can confirm, my WoW crashing problem is gone since doing so. At least, I changed two settings, not just the one mentioned (see below).
I had updated my BIOS version recently, and the ‘Above 4G Decoding’ and ‘Resizable BAR Support’ was turned off, instead of inheriting the previous BIOS version setting of them being turned on previously.
EDIT: As discussed above, turning on ‘Above 4G Decoding’ and ‘Resizable BAR Support’ settings in my BIOS fixed the problem.

Does anyone know why OW2 may be crashing on Arch? I thought it was just me, but I went to protondb and saw more reports. The only solutions I found from historical crashing non-Arch related was for nVidia users, but I’m on AMD.
Any clue why it may be? And, more importantly, what the solution may be?
It crashes shortly after starting if that helps.
Not sure if its related, but throwing this reply your way, just in case.
WoW has been crashing for me too last couple of days, consistently. Launched via Battle.net launcher.
Its weird, but the only way I can get it to not crash is by letting the first WoW session crash on startup, NOT closing the exception error message dialog or the report the crash to Blizzard dialog, and then start up a second session of WoW. That second session plays fine.
I had played first session WoW normally for a week, then stopped to have lunch one day, and when I came back from lunch and started up WoW again, this crashing crap had just started.
I tried using Bottles (both native and flatpak), Lutris, and Steam. The ‘run twice’ trick is being done on Steam (native not flatpak) using experimental. Using Fedora/KDE spin.
Not sure where to report this ‘bug’ to on the Internet. Any ideas?
Really happy to see them continuing to improve on their multi-monitor support.
From the article…
On Wayland, KWin can now be configured to pull color profile information from the monitor’s EDID metadata where present. Note that color profile information in EDID metadata is often wrong, so use this setting with caution.
Can anyone speak towards why the EDID metadata is often wrong?
Edit: TY to all who responded.
What do you think of Fedora? So far I enjoy the stability combined with near-arch levels of getting new updates!
I switched away from other distros to Fedora (KDE spin), and am happy here.
Do I wish they were better open-source citizens, yes, of course! But they’re still allot better than Microsoft/Windows close-source solution.
And as far as the distro goes, its nice to have solid support for hardware, and a good rolling release cycle that doesn’t brick my OS, and that has quick support for gaming, etc.
If you’re the type of person who wants a Windows alternative OS to use as just a tool for gaming/business first and foremost, and not to tinker with the OS for fun (unless they want to), Fedora is the best, and what we all should be proposing to others when they ask about moving to Linux.
You do know that isn’t how licenses work?
From a comment on HN…
To the outside observer, it seems like it’s not a carefully taken business decision but some random engineer who wanted to learn rust and flutter.
It’s insanely deep with a chill gameplay loop. I’ve exclusively played single-player.
I’ll have to get off my ass and try playing it, been seeing it around forever.
I played the entire game through on the deck. It played excellently.
Nice! I’ve been meaning to give it a try, but I never get around to doing it. I’ll have to make more of an effort.
Stardew Valley just got a huge update recently, I don’t find it that surprising! It’s a great update.
Ah okay. I just assumed it was the next Minecraft for kids and that’s why it’s population/popularity was hanging on at a high level.
Surprised to see The Witcher 3 still on that list. And the fact that Stardew Valley is number one also is surprising to me.
It would have been interesting to see the actual total hours for each game as well.
I’m aware of HDR, but what is Game Color (besides the obviousness of the two words, individually)?
This is using the native build
Then I got nothing. Good luck.
Edit: Don’t mean to be dismissive, I just have no knowledge on that client to help further.
Honestly don’t know if it’s related or not, but the next version of Proton (I believe it’s 9.0) that’s coming out, has a lot of fixes, including for input issues.
Sadly, DNF5 and the new Anaconda installer didn’t make it to the party, in case you were wondering.
Any word as to why?
Majority of people just dont care about being spied upon unless it directly affects them somehow,
Remind them that strangers know their porn fetishes, and see if that changes their minds.
Apologies for my ignorance, but could you elaborate?
I’m sincerely not seeing the connection between saying everything is critical as a go fuck yourself towards those companies.
Is it a ‘death by quantity’ thing?
