Your system information

System information :
steam info
steamInfo.txt
Have you checked for system updates?:
Yes
Are you using the latest stable video driver available for your system?
Yes
Have you verified the game files?
Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Dota game totally frozen after starting a game.
Same after lowering video settings at the minimum.
Same in ranked game or in game vs bots.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

start a dota game
move your hero
after some seconds (1-10), it is totally frozen

I get some lines in console :

Too much data requested from _XRead
[xcb] This is most likely caused by a broken X extension library
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.
dota2: xcb_io.c:833: _XRead: Assertion `!xcb_xlib_too_much_data_requested' failed.

or

[xcb] Unknown sequence number while processing queue
[xcb] You called XInitThreads, this is not your fault
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.
dota2: xcb_io.c:278: poll_for_event: Assertion `!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost' faile

so I reinstalled all my xcb-related packages. Same.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

I have the same issue. My system is Archlinux and Nvidia GPU. The Dota2 game freezes after a few seconds. I think it is due to the latest updates. Everything was going well yesterday, until it updates today.

I have the same similar issue and this is annoying. Here some logs:

edit: yeah, libx11's issue, works fine on wayland, played with 50 minutes of gameplay

zeparu · 2022-12-17T10:47:09Z

can confirm the same issue here since i updated my arch linux yesterday i guess, even using the steam-runtime-environment compatibility tool wont fix it, nor running steam-runtime instead of steam-native

rohanprabhu · 2022-12-17T11:39:03Z

So luckily, I might be able to offer some insight into which exact package upgrade has broken this. I had a dota 2 update today and I played the game just fine, after which I did an arch update and I'm facing this exact issue with 100% repro. My last pacman upgrade resulted in the following packages being updated:

clojure-1.11.1.1208-1  deno-1.29.0-1  gupnp-1:1.6.3-1
              haskell-ipynb-0.2-64  lib32-mesa-22.3.1-1  libnm-1.40.8-1
              libx11-1.8.3-1  luajit-2.1.0.beta3.r464.g8625eee7-1  mesa-22.3.1-1
              networkmanager-1.40.8-1  nodejs-19.3.0-1  pandoc-2.19.2-36
              rust-1:1.66.0-1  smbclient-4.17.4-1

From the looks of it, and the error messages posted by other commenters, it does seem like libx11 and/or mesa update might have broken this.

godcrying · 2022-12-17T14:36:51Z

@rohanprabhu Thanks ! I downgrade my libx11 to 1.8.2 and it works :D

rohanprabhu · 2022-12-17T14:39:23Z

Oh wow - @godcrying - did it break other things for you? I have a triple display setup (laptop + 2 external displays) and I'm always so scared of downgrading anything related to graphics :D

KennFatt · 2022-12-17T14:40:16Z

Thanks a lot @rohanprabhu such a life saver xD. Yep @godcrying I can confirm too.
Here's what I did to downgrade if anyone wondering:

sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/libx11/libx11-1.8.2-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/lib32-mesa/lib32-mesa-22.2.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/m/mesa/mesa-22.2.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

I'm not really sure if downgrading mesa is necessary, but it's work now.

Confirm. This work

rohanprabhu · 2022-12-17T15:00:35Z

Yeah, went ahead and took the plunge myself. I use downgrade, so a downgrade libx11 and selecting 1.8.2 worked for me.

P.S. - Downgrading mesa does not seem to be necessary, I did not downgrade mesa and just libx11 downgrade fixed it for me

Eniotan · 2022-12-17T15:44:37Z

Ok we can close: distro issue, not dota2. Thanks to all! Sorry for opening issue here and not in Arch .

zeparu · 2022-12-17T15:56:41Z

well it could still be an issue with dota, because i could play binding of isaac (proton) and FFXIV (wine) completely fine with libx11 1.8.3, bug reports should still be opened on both ends

rohanprabhu · 2022-12-17T15:59:41Z

Yeah, I agree with @zeparu - what we know so far is that there is a regression, but if it was purely an issue with libx11, then we should have seen more chatter on places like arch bbs. I think it might make more sense to keep it open and get some clarity on this from the Dota 2 devs

Edit:
There does seem to be a bit more chatter:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=281823

Eniotan · 2022-12-17T16:22:38Z

So, I switch back to «open» following above comments

rohanprabhu · 2022-12-17T17:28:45Z

@Eniotan - I guess you were right - this is a distro issue :D - https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libx11/-/merge_requests/176 ; now just need to wait for this to get into the arch repos

amaanq · 2022-12-18T00:34:53Z

Bisected and found likely cause, see #174 on libx11's gitlab

ArikRahman · 2022-12-18T18:58:20Z

Per @rafael-arreola, Dota started working with me by downgrading

$ paru -Syu --noconfirm downgrade

$ sudo downgrade libx11

-> and select the version libx11-1.8.2-2

bastienleonard · 2022-12-19T13:57:25Z

It works for me today after I updated packages.

Eniotan · 2022-12-19T17:04:43Z

new libx11-1.8.3-3 solves the issue, I close.

Zesko · 2023-01-07T21:54:48Z

libx11 1.8.3-4 has this issue again and freezes Dota2 when using KDE wayland.

Zesko · 2023-01-07T22:20:30Z

libx11 1.8.3-5 fixed the issue.
