Dota2 crash on ubuntu 20.04.4 with AMDVLK driver

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Set up ubuntu 20.04.4 system Ubuntu 20.04.4 Instructions (Using Impish Repos):

1. Install Ubuntu 20.04.3 from ISO Update system via: sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade Reboot system via: sudo reboot
2. Add Impish repositories: sudo bash -c "echo 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu impish main restricted universe multiverse' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hirsute.list" && sudo apt update Update repos via: sudo apt update
3. Install 5.13 kernel via: sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-20.04-edge linux-headers-generic-hwe-20.04-edge linux-image-generic-hwe-20.04-edge linux-tools-generic-hwe-20.04-edge systemd Reboot system via: sudo reboot

2. install AMDVLK driver from https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/AMDVLK/releases/tag/v-2021.Q4.1
3. run ./dota2 -console -vulkan and observe following error: failed to release invalid pointer : 0xxxxxxxxxx

Notes: Issue is not observed on RADV because RADV doesn't use aligned_alloc Issue is not observed if replace libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0 with distro one (apt install libtcmalloc-minimal4 and then replace it)

Thanks @kisak-valve for transferring it from steam-for-Linux to Dota-2 issue, please let us know if you need any more information.

[Kai-AMD]

Happy New Year! I would appreciate it if anyone could provide any update on this issue. :)

[amdvlk-admin]

issue is not observed after steam update

[JaxLinAMD]

issue is still observed.

[rifat-h]

i moved back to linux after a long time. Installed dota 2. after clicking play nothing happens.

[rifat-h]

issue is still observed.

Have you solved the issue ?

[Kai-AMD]

No, still working on that.

[accerqueira]

I have the same issue. Replaced libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0 and now it works! Thanks for the workaround @JaxLinAMD!

Edit1: Actually, it didn't crash on load, but it did crash on match/hero demo. Edit2: And I'm on Arch, not Ubuntu...

The same issue, Dota 2 does not launch with the option -vulkan after the update of Arch based linux, but the option -gl works.

I think, this issue is caused by the Arch update from glibc 2.33 to 2.35 that broke Dota2 and CS:GO https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/2887

The log:

I got it to work with vulkan by adding VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json to the environment (export it from ~/.profile or set launch options for dota2: VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json %command%).

I think the problem happened because I have amdvlk and vulkan-radeon installed. Apparently, amdvlk is not supported by Dota2, and AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV is being ignored now, so Dota2 picked amdvlk ICD (/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/amd_icd64.json) and crashed.

[Kai-AMD]

We've got a fix for AMDVLK, hopefully it can be released in the upcoming version.

[presianbg]

Dota does not load on Solus either (amdgpu opensource kernel driver).

I seem to to be having the same issue as was mentioned (using Manjaro), seems that closing steam and running steam via VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json:/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.i686.json steam solved the issue for me

It's not working for me. It creates CS:GO window and it crashes.

The same issue, Dota 2 does not launch with the option -vulkan after the update of Arch based linux, but the option -gl works.

I don't know if anyone else is seeing this, but I get this message when I try launching with -vulkan instead of -gl

Attempting to create OpenGL context: v3.3 (Core profile)...success. Checking entry points...success.
src/tcmalloc.cc:390] Attempt to free invalid pointer: 0x556dd3135220

Seems like maybe it's a possible cause for whatever pointer being invalid.

[Zesko]

@cppcooper

Did you add VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json in /etc/environment, then reboot? It need the installation of the package vulkan-radeon.

[ShayanAkhun]

i moved back to linux after a long time. Installed dota 2. after clicking play nothing happens. same here it was working fine a few days ago now when i click the play button nothing happens !!!!

[Kai-AMD]

Yes, it should have been fixed in AMDVLK recent release.
