Graphical artifacts only on Linux

[Pawys]

I recently upgraded my Gigabyte RX 580 to a Sapphire Nitro RX 6700XT .

 

When i first got the card i did some tests with some of my games and everything worked fine. When i launched the new spider-man however i got an driver issue (the game itself may have been the issue since i was using a cracked version at the time). That prompted me to change mesa to mesa-git to check if that would fix the driver problem. It did not.

 

But after doing that some small green boxes started appearing on the lutris client. (The boxes only appear sometimes and are quite easy to miss so its entirely possible they did appear before installing the mesa-git driver and i just didn't notice it). I didn't think much of it since the only application it affected was lutris and i thought that it strictly was a lutris/mesa-git issue. But since i didn't think i needed mesa-git i once again changed it this time to the normal mesa driver. Which did not change the lutris issue but i still ignored it.

 

A couple of days later when i launched cs go and went to the in-game menu (as shown on the gif it only happens in the menu) it happened again. This time it were black boxes sometimes changing colors. I thought it had to be a hardware issue and that i just had a faulty GPU.But i checked cs go on windows and i did not have such issue.

 

What i tried already:

Changing mesa to mesa-git

Changing my kernel from Linux-zen to Linux

Trying a different Linux distro (pop OS)

Changing my GPU bios (My graphics card has 2 bioses)

None of it fixed the issue.

 

I have been using windows for 5 days so far playing different games and i didn't experience any issues.

 

What could be causing it?

That would suggest your `linux firmware` is out of date. You can search for instructions to extract the firmware from the windows package and dump it over the top of your existing files until an update arrives, or find the upstream source your devs use and install it from there.

What distros did you try? Because Pop_OS, Ubuntu, and Mint all use the same driver stack

Well i use arch as my daily driver and i only tried pop_os to check for the artifacts issue

Could you link a guide about doing that?

Hmm interesting, wonder if it's a Proton/WINE issue

Didn't see CS:GO mentioned just spider man.
