Bug ID: 100242 Summary: radeon buffer allocation failure during startup of Factorio Product: Mesa Version: git Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64) OS: Linux (All) Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Drivers/Gallium/r600 Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: tnmailinglists@gmail.com QA Contact: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org
Created attachment 130277 --> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=130277&action=edit terminal output when running the executable
The game Factorio crashes during startup with the following message printed on the CLI: radeon: Failed to allocate a buffer: radeon: size : 268435456 bytes radeon: alignment : 16384 bytes radeon: domains : 4 radeon: flags : 20
The crash occurs during the pre-game loading procedure, before reaching the main menu, at the same spot every time. I'm on Lubuntu 16.10 using the up-to-date drivers provided by https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers , my GPU is a Radeon HD 4670 with AGP. I believe this is a driver issue since the game starts up normally with 16.10's default drivers (12.0.6). I unfortunately cannot provide a specific date or build for when this behavior started occurring, but it has been happening for several months.
Of note is that the demo version provided by the developer on their website does not have this problem and starts up fine.
Attached are the terminal output, an strace and a gdb bt log.
