Help with Cyberpunk 2077 on Mint (lemmy.world)

Hey gang, I'm having trouble running this game. I have a Ryzen 7 7800X3D, RTX 4070 Ti Super, 64GB DDR5 RAM, on a B650 motherboard. My issue is frequent crashing/freezing, meaning I can't play longer than a few minutes at a time. I have tried re-installing the game, Steam, the entire OS, and then fully wiping the drives to remove Windows dual partition and only installing Mint. Then I was pointed to the drivers, so I tried updating using the ppa(?) driver availability as Mint only offered the nVidia 550 through Driver Manager. I tried each of the separate drivers, rebooting between each load, and still having the same issue. For reference, I was able to run through character creator and early intro of the Streetkid after many failed attempts. But then I get to the ride-along with Dexter DeShawn which does not have skippable sections and takes too long. So the length of that conversation is too long before the game either freezes or outright crashes.

Any suggestions are welcome, it's really really annoying me and pretty disheartening after hearing how everything just works on Linux (other than competitive online games, which I don't really play anyway).

Edit to add: I also tried the different Proton versions available through Steam, where I purchased the game.

Do you mean AM5?

If so I've had (am having) issues with it too... It's mostly fine, but the one thing I CANNOT figure out is sleep/hibernate... As soon as it enters sleep or hibernates, it immediately turns back on. And I can't find the related settings in my BIOS that are mentioned online. That's what I get for buying revision 1.0 gigabyte I guess...

As soon as it enters sleep or hibernates, it immediately turns back on.

I don't know about sleep, but for hibernation, do you have enough swap space to store a copy of your physical memory? If you don't, that's the behavior I've seen; there'll be some system log message, can't remember if kernel or userspace, about not having enough space to hibernate.

Easy way to test if you think that might be it is to add a page file (rather than page partition, so you don't have to repartition) to your swap space, activate it with swapon, and then try re-running a hibernation.

I do have swap space that is larger than my physical memory.

Ive had that issue on Kubuntu. In the end it was one of my USB devices (specifically my controller) that was responsible for turning my PC back on. No idea why, but unplugging it stopped the entire phenomenon. Maybe check if one of your USB devices is doing the same thing?

Not the issue in this case, I disabled all forms of wake on USB from both a BIOS/UEFI level and Linux. There were problems with Ryzen 7000 but that should have been fixed with driver updates supposedly... But maybe gigabyte is just that shite lol. At least the board wasn't too expensive when I bought it where I live

I have revision 1.3 b650m gigabyte board, same issue. With an old bios it works properly. Lots of different solutions in reddit, but none work. I can't even test it anymore because this piece of shit board won't recognize the bios file anymore... Booting up is also VERY slow, sometimes takes 10+ minutes to post. Fans spin at full speed and nothing happens until it suddenly wakes up.

As soon as I have the money, I'll buy a new MSI board and never touch anything gigabyte with a 10ft pole

Hmm for me everything is fine, incl. boot times, only the sleep/hibernate function doesn't work... Good luck figuring out your other problems 😅

Yes, yes, yes.
