PPSA04029 · Linux · First GPU presentation fails; R5G6B5 storage-image format

Current conclusion

Cyberpunk 2077 on Linux RTX 3090 reaches first GPU presentation on main 799982fac after extensive shader preparation, then aborts because NVIDIA cannot use the requested R5G6B5 storage-image format. Earlier main d592d54e runs timed out inside EngineWatchdog; neither result reaches a visible menu or gameplay.

Platform test results

Linux · Shader preparation; EngineWatchdog before a presented frame

Issues

Three unmodified-main runs trip the game's EngineWatchdog around 139 seconds, with no compute dispatch or visible frame. CPU samples show threads walking tens of thousands of direct memory-mapping registry ranges.

Linux · First GPU presentation fails; R5G6B5 storage-image format

Issues

With 10,330 cold-cache or 12,954 warm-cache compute dispatches, startup reaches the first GPU presentation at about 491 or 205 seconds, then throws because guest storage format 4 (R5G6B5) lacks the required NVIDIA Vulkan storage-image support. Two of three cold runs first hit EngineWatchdog.

Known issues

Linux · Shader preparation; EngineWatchdog before a presented frame

  • The EngineWatchdog expires during startup while sceKernelBatchMap2 threads repeatedly traverse the allocation registry; a proposed PR #4216 helps some warm-cache runs but is not part of stock main.

Linux · First GPU presentation fails; R5G6B5 storage-image format

  • NVIDIA's reported R5G6B5 optimal-tiling capabilities omit STORAGE_IMAGE_BIT. The first presentation fails on compute shader 0x1aa4f07500.
  • An AMD RADV format-capability query is not evidence that the game passed this stage on AMD; that host did not reach presentation before the test timeout.
