Visual effects exclusive to Linux systems
Visual effects exclusive to Linux systems
I recently upgraded my Gigabyte RX 580 to a Sapphire Nitro RX 6700XT. At first, everything functioned properly after testing with various games. However, when launching Spider-Man, I encountered a driver problem. I tried switching Mesa to mesa-git, but it didn’t resolve the issue. Later, small green boxes appeared in the Lutris client, which might have been before installing the new driver and easily missed. I didn’t pay much attention since only Lutris was affected and I assumed it was a Lutris/mesa-git problem. When I switched back to the standard Mesa driver, the issue disappeared, though I still ignored it. A few days later, while using CS GO and accessing the in-game menu (as shown in the gif), it happened again—sometimes displaying black boxes that changed colors. I suspected a hardware fault or a faulty GPU, but tested on Windows and found no problems. My attempts included changing Mesa, kernel settings, Linux distros, and GPU bios, yet nothing resolved the issue. I’ve been playing games on Windows for five days without any problems. What might be causing this?
This implies your `linux firmware` isn't current. You might look up steps to pull firmware from the Windows package, replace it with your own files until a new version comes, or connect with your developers for the official source and install it directly.
I rely on Arch Linux as my main system and just tested pop_os to see if there are any issues with artifacts.
I can provide a detailed guide on how to do that. Let me know if you'd like it tailored for a specific task or audience.
