Hello,
I am looking for help solving an issue with gamescope. There are more details in this GitHub issue but to recap: After ~24 minutes games run through gamescope start stuttering. I tried to capture a log for gpuvis (see github issue) but could not (lack the knowledge to) see the problem. It seems as if there is something causing the GPU to rapidly switch between idle (500 MHz sclk state 0 and Max) all of a sudden. It only happens when running games through gamescope. Without it games run fine. I tried forcing the pp_power_profile, disabling the lower sclk & mclk states but nothing seems to help. If I let two games run in parallel but with a startup delay of for example 10 minutes the issue also starts with a 10 minute delay for the respective game.
Also something I noticed only today is that the stuttering is gone if I keep moving the mouse cursor.
I tried unsetting amdgpu.ppfeaturemask as well as different mesa versions. But this has been happening for about 6 months now across different kernels, mesa releases and gamescope commits. Also the fixed period of ~24 minutes made me think that there was some sort of idle/powersave feature kicking in?
Any help how to further troubleshoot would be appreciated. Also if you are using gamescope but not experiencing this issue. Maybe there are some obvious differences.
Thank you.
