Steam Deck - xmb UI freezes when opening while playing

RetroArch Linux devices
#1

Hi,

on Steam Deck, the RetroArch UI (newest flatpak version), when set to xmb, just freezes when opening and switching to any category (e.g. shaders or settings) while playing (doesn’t matter which core or content). This does only happen, when the video driver is set to Vulkan. Driver glcore works fine. But Vulkan offers better performance so that’s no fix.

Anyone does encounter the same problem?

Hi,

I’d like to point out that this is still a problem. Not only on Steam Deck, but Linux in general (at least on my distro with current AMD, Vulkan and Mesa drivers).

Who should be pinged about the problem and a possible solution?
