Not having this issue here.
Also using Gentoo, but with Nvidia.
The log you show makes me wonder about issues with the gamefiles and/or mods.
Can you try reinstalling the game and removing any mods you might be using?

Hey Roeleveld,
thanks for your answer.
I'm playing vanilla (no mods). I did a file integrity verification and so on, but the issue was still there.
It seems though, that the drive I was running the game on was going out of memory (since I initialized the game with debug mode on and had a ~60GiB log file already).
Almost all saved games were readable (not corrupted) but one. Regardless, I can imagine some lines not being correct/empty within those readable files.
I managed to play around 5 hours on 3.10 (incl. saving and loading) without any problems after deactivating debug mode and erasing the file in question.
Sorry for the false alarm.

The MOST irritating is when I quit: options => back to desktop => yes... nothing happens for 10 secs or so, then back to desktop... but sound is going on and several services are not killed...
Actually only needs to "kill -9" the last 3 processes I mentioned in the second code block
In the most cases you can avoid this by going back to the main menu first and then exit to the desktop.

I posted an extra topic for my problems with the dpad on the Thrustmaster joystick & throttle dpads, but it just occurred to me that it might be a Linux only issue:
viewtopic.php?f=180&t=425231
Not sure about the culprit here.

Thanks! doing this is OK. It takes a huge amount of time compared to the other games of the series though.

I am having issues with performance in some sector/s (grand exchange iv being one of them), and a couple of times Ive been killed the game CTD'ed, another third time it didn't. Also yesterday game would not quit so I had to kill it.
Is this happening in Windows too?
just asking-

@ ezra-r: I think, in order, your answers regarding Windows are:
1. Performance in Sectors - Sometimes, depending upon system set-up and hardware capability.
2. CTDs on death - Not being reported often, if at all.
3. Game not exiting - Yes, for some users and with potential improvements in a future build.
I would say that all 3 issues are potentially system-specific to some degree.

Thanks for your answers Alan!
I decided to check for myself so I moved my saves to the windows partition and started playing a long session. Night and day sadly.
In windows characters textures or whatever would sometime take time to "appear" but the game performed really well in general.
Under Linux in long and not so long sessions performance degradates over time while Windows version seemed to be much more stable. I wish the Linux version had more polishing. So I wish Egosoft focus on bug squashing and polishing instead of features from 3 to 4.
The game is highly enjoyable now and I keep finding nice surprises so I can only wish to play it nicely in my favourite OS.
Great job Egosoft and keep up the good work and.. and polishing for the Linux version if possible pleaaaase

I had a complete freeze on my Linux archbox two days ago, unfortunately I had disabled the debug log just a minute before.
It was also after a few minutes looking at the map.
Arch linux x64
32GB Ram
Amd ryzen 5 2600
AMD navi 10 5700
Kernel 5.6.8-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT
I am currently not at home...
Game always vanilla
I will try to reproduce this problem and will revert with more details if it happens again.
Vulkaninfo and save I use always for testing:

Unfortunately there's very little we can do about reports of freezes that come with little or no supporting information. While a DXDiag clearly doesn't apply to Linux, all the other information requested in the threads at the top of the forum does.

Vulkan out-of-gpu-memory panic! TextureD3D::BE_SetSize
Version: 3.10 - Code revision: 394166
and then its followed by this:
S3D::SysD3D.fpGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR(PhysicalDevice.PhysicalDevice, vv.surface, &surfaceCapabilities) Failed with err -3

Now I had to type all that in from screenshots I had to take when it crashed. You would think that if the crash handler could capture this info and display it on a GUI dialog, it could also dump a crash log somewhere so I could just upload it. But this game has SO much potential.

@sgtnasty
That's definitely out-of-gpu memory, you probably have to set graphics settings to lowest (especially texture quality) and lower resolution.
Not sure how much the gpu actually has (the info doesn't seem to mention it or I'm missing it)?

NVIDIA Total Dedicated Memory: 4006 MB
In-Game graphics options set to lowest.
The resolution is 3840x2160 and I cant change it to 1920x1080. I tried changing it to Windowed, Fullscreen etc. and no option allows me to lower the resolution (saving GPU memory).

It's probably in borderless mode, if you switch to fullscreen it'll be changeable.
Hmm though if you're already on lowest I'd expect 4gb to be definitely enough, so that's weird.

I will try to record a video to show that no matter what fullscreen or borderless combination I selected I just can't change the resolution at all.

As I said before, there is a
sticky thread right at the top of the forum that tells you what you need to provide. If you have a particular savegame that exhibits the freeze then you need to include that.

@ red-dragon: It's interesting that it's the same graphics card (and driver?) as with sgtnasty above. Still, you are not getting the VRAM error messages that they are and you get a freeze and not a CTD.
