Runelite won't use GPU on Linux/Mesa about runelite HOT 13 CLOSED

You log file shows you have not turned the GPU plugin on. I would try that and see what the log shows.

from runelite.

I do have it turned on - I actually just started runelite from scratch with the GPU plugin, ran for a minute or two, then exited. Unfortunately, my logs in ~/.var/app/net.runelite.RuneLite/.runelite/logs were last changed about 20 minutes ago - I'm not sure why runelite isn't generating them.

from runelite.

It can't be on because it logs this at very early startup:

				log.info("Using device: {}", GL43C.glGetString(GL43C.GL_RENDERER));
				log.info("Using driver: {}", GL43C.glGetString(GL43C.GL_VERSION));

Maybe your client has stopped logging.

from runelite.

Yes, I just tried relaunching runelite a few times, and also taking screenshots, but now it doesn't seem to be outputting any sort of files at all. Strange, since it still has all the flatpak permissions possible; I'm not really sure how to debug that.

from runelite.

Try using the appimage maybe? I don't know much about how flatpak permissions work.

Alright, sorry for the noise. I figured out where Bolt puts the runelite logs via Adamcake/Bolt#6

launcher.log

client.log

Even though that issue also being filed with bolt is worrisome, this seems to not be a problem specifically with that launcher. I also tried with https://github.com/USA-RedDragon/jagex-launcher-flatpak and got the same issues (5fps with GPU plugin on).

I know that's a huge log file: just for reference, I see

2024-02-07 14:48:16 EST [Client] INFO  n.r.client.plugins.gpu.GpuPlugin - Using device: llvmpipe (LLVM 15.0.7, 256 bits)

A few config changes for the GpuPlugin as I was messing with settings to test:

And nothing else

llvmpipe is the llvm software rasterizer. So indeed it is not using your gpu. Can you try the appimage? And also get glxinfo

from runelite.

Have you tried running flatpak update?

I still see 2024-02-07 23:41:53 GMT [Client] INFO n.r.client.plugins.gpu.GpuPlugin - Using device: llvmpipe (LLVM 16.0.6, 256 bits) unfortunately.

If there's a way to actually log in and test with the AppImage if I only have access to a Jagex account, please let me know.

Have you tried running flatpak update?

Yes, I already had.

If it still says llvmpipe it doesn't matter, it isn't working. glxinfo appears to not be able to identify your gpu either:

OpenGL vendor string: Mesa
OpenGL renderer string: llvmpipe (LLVM 16.0.6, 256 bits)
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.5 (Core Profile) Mesa 23.3.3
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.50
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile

There is about where my knowledge ends with gpu support on linux though. Maybe dig into why Mesa thinks you don't have a gpu?

from runelite.

For reference, there's also NixOS/nixpkgs#271739 , but that looks like it produces an error in the logs on enabling the GPU plugins, and I don't see anything like that in my logs. Plus, this is also happening on the RuneLite flatpak.

Just to be sure, I tried native/appimage runelite with LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing to libGL and libXxf86vm, but it was still using llvmpipe.

Fair, that's a good point. I thought it could be kernel related, so I tried with 6.7.3, but glxinfo outputs the same. On the other hand, firefox + other software recognizes it as a RX 7600. I also don't know a ton about GPU handling - I'll try to investigate more and narrow down if it's Mesa related or not.

from runelite.

This looks like a bug in nixpkgs/nixos's handling of the mesa/rocm AMD stack. Thanks for the help debugging.
