Hey there,

not sure if this is really the problem but yesterday I updated my Arch (btw) system and today I tried to play via steam some games. I noticed that my system became really laggy after a game started (no matter what game). I inspected my pacman.log and searched for GPU/gaming related packages.

I identified these packages were upgraded:

mesa (1:23.1.5-1 -> 1:23.1.6-1) lib32-libva-mesa-driver (1:23.1.5-1 -> 1:23.1.6-1) lib32-mesa (1:23.1.5-1 -> 1:23.1.6-1) vulkan-radeon (1:23.1.5-1 -> 1:23.1.6-1) lib32-vulkan-radeon (1:23.1.5-1 -> 1:23.1.6-1) libva-mesa-driver (1:23.1.5-1 -> 1:23.1.6-1) opencl-clover-mesa (1:23.1.5-1 -> 1:23.1.6-1) opencl-rusticl-mesa (1:23.1.5-1 -> 1:23.1.6-1)

I am not a fan of downgrading packages but I didn't see any other solution yet.

I downgraded the above packages back to 23.1.5-1 and my memory usage is as expected.

Leaving this here as possible quick fix, didn't find anything yet on arch bugtrackers or something.

Someone struggling with the same issues?
