Minecraft Launcher (Linux) crashes during login/rendering on AMD GPU (Mesa) - bad IPC message and libva init failed.
Description: The official Minecraft Launcher fails to initialize on Arch Linux using AMD Radeon graphics (RX 5700 XT). The UI crashes or remains blank, specifically when attempting to render the Microsoft sign-in window.
Error Logs:
[ERROR:gl_surface_presentation_helper.cc(260)] GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed[ERROR:bad_message.cc(29)] Terminating renderer for bad IPC message, reason 213[ERROR:shared_image_manager.cc(223)] SharedImageManager::ProduceSkia: Trying to Produce a Skia representation from a non-existent mailbox.libva error: /usr/lib/dri/radeonsi_drv_video.so init failed
System Info:
OS: Arch Linux (Kernel 6.18.9-arch1-2)
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT (Navi10)
Driver: Mesa 25.3.5-arch1.1
Environment: Wayland / X11
Workaround found: The launcher only works when forced to use system libraries via: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/lib32 minecraft-launcher This suggests the bundled libraries in the launcher package are incompatible with modern Mesa/LibVA versions on Arch.
