Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

OpenGL works fine with Manjaro Linux and AMD Radeon RX 5700, but Dota 2 setting recommended that I switch OpenGL to Vulkan. I changed OpenGL to Vulkan (recommend) in Dota 2 video setting. But after restart, Dota 2 starts slower than 30 FPS, then freezes, then crashes. It forced the PC to restart. I am using Manjaro OS with stable version and default driver from Manjaro (amdvlk 3032.q2.2-1 and vulkan-radeon 21.0.3-3). How can I switch back to OpenGL in Dota 2 video setting? Why is Vulkan bug?

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Start Dota 2 from Manjaro Steam.
Switch OpenGL to Vulkan
Restart Dota 2
Dota 2 shows slower than 30 FPS (4 -17 FPS)
Then freezes after 5 sec starting of Dota 2
It forces PC to restart.

Hello @Zesko, can you clarify if you're using amdvlk or mesa/radv with Dota 2? After determining which video driver is being used with the game, are you seeing the same behavior with the other video driver?

If only one video driver is affected, then that points towards a driver issue that should be reported to the video driver vendor.

Hello @kisak-valve I can not clarify if i am using amdvlk or mesa with Dota 2. I did not change them as default from Manjaro stable branch.

I use GUI of hardware: It looks like standard.

mesa 21.0.3-3 and different libs of mesa:

What is still missing? Steam -> Right click on Dota 2 -> Select properties of Dota 2 -> DLC:

There is no Dota 2 Vulkan Support. Need I install it? Where is it?

How can I switch back to OpenGL in Dota 2 video setting?

right click dota 2 in your library -> Properties -> launch options -> insert -gl

That should force the game to start using opengl, regardless of what the current config file says.

@Turmfalke2 It works, thank you!

I tried to install Dota 2 in Windows 10. It has DirectX, OpenGL and Vulkan Support in DLC Properties. Vulkan Support DLC works fine in Windows 10, but not Manjar Linux because Vulkan DLC is missing?

I think the vulkan dlc has been integrated into the main game. I don't have it in the list anymore and I can use vulkan for better performance at the cost of some stability that I am currently documenting in https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Dota-2/issues/1883 .

I'm also having the issue stated here, the game just starts with a black screen and is pretty much frozen. Using a 5700xt and mesa 21.2.1 drivers.

Luckily I don't have the issue where the whole PC freezes (probably due to running under wayland/sway?)

Happy to provide more info if needed.

Solution:

Uninstall amdvlk that is unstable with Dota 2 in Manjaro/ArchLinux. Install radeon-vulkan to resolve this issue, it has better performance than amdvlk.
