The game crashes after startup on some systems (predominantly Linux systems) with AMD graphics

Can confirm as well in Fedora 42 with both offical launcher and prism launcher

Same here, can’t launch the game no matter what I change (Fedora 42, Prism and Minecraft Launcher)

Can confirm (Arch Linux as well, on Wayland)

Can confirm on SteamOS (Prismlauncher).

Can confirm, arch again, amdgpu

video of bug in action

This seems to be an issue with Minecraft’s implimentation of the Mesa drivers if I’m to take a guess
Can someone with an Nvidia card run the snapshot and see if it works on linux?

All the crash logs and my personal system all seem to have an amd card

@Crafter Aurora I’m using RADV, fwiw. I also tried forcing Zink (OpenGL running on top of Vulkan), and it crashed just the same.

i can confirm this

Can confirm same issue AMD GPU and Ryzen CPU

Can confirm on EndeavourOS

Somewhere I must have a UBO be too small and it's being masked by the giant alignment rules on windows

• Dinnerbone

AMD GPU on Linux creates a low offset of 4 where on Windows it’s 256.

A UBO must be too big for the size it has been given.

Can confirm intel/radeon on Arch

I can confirm this is the case on Windows with my own crash report, sorry mods if this might be against the rules, but Im only tyring to help.

yeaah @openbagtwo i usually use zink and tried that first (it crashed) so i ran the game without zink and it still crashed cuz it wasnt with zink lol

if you in that 2% of people who have amdgpu linux, zink is goated

I’m on Windows but i’m also getting the Buffer Overflow error with the latest snapshot. (Previous snapshot and live work fine)

I have AMD hardware

“AMD APU A8-6600K Quad-Core 3,9 Ghz
ATI Radeon RX 560 Gigabyte Gaming OC 4GB”

For me, there is no crash but it just opens 25w15a (instead of 25w16a)

+1, trying to play on Steam Deck only to be met with an instant crash

Can confirm it happen on my system, Bazzite with full AMD system

not sure why it says resolved in the status when its still happening

@CGBSpende when it’s marked as Resolved fix usually will be pushed in next snapshot/drop. That’s how it usually worked.

On Jira bug tracker of this bug says fix is to be deployed in “Future update”

Ok so there is no way to play the new snapshot as of now?

Yeah, doesn’t work on Pojav launcher either, can’t try it until the next snapshot
