What mesa version are you using?
6800xt user here Been dealing with it since like july-august , most commonly happens in OW2 and Starfield, not using opengl for those of course
Minecraft is the only opengl game I play, it has had a couple mystery crashes here and there but none were pagefaults
I've been running mesa-git updated almost every night running Arch with KDE.
It's been annoying, I can't find a consistent way to trigger it sometimes going days without happening.
Linux 6.7rc kernels and recent mesa commits have helped but it still happens about once every 2-3 days
What desktop environment are you using?
KDE
I run an RX6600 and haven’t had any freezing issues. Which version of Mesa and which games? If it’s all OpenGL games that would be rather strange.
Mesa 23.2+
Games as simple as Minecraft eventually crash my PC.
What distro?
KDE Neon using X11 with latest stable kernel+Mesa.
Might be a gnome thing
Not sure if this will fix your problem but try Wayland and see if you have the issue. I don't know why a lot of my problems with games were fixed and it might help you.
I already use wayland. X11 is miserable for me
Are they using vulkan natively (not dxvk through wine)? I posted about this when running the experimental vulkan support on BeamNG.drive https://www.beamng.com/threads/vulkan-api-%E2%80%93-feedback-known-issues-and-faq.79967/page-12#post-1617244. Looks to be very similar maybe?
My OS details are in that post but also here:
OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Kernel: 6.1.39-1-lts
Resolution: 3840x1600
WM: sway
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X (32) @ 3.400GHz
GPU: AMD ATI Radeon PRO W6800
Memory: 64209MiB
All other games, even ones that use vulkan, work fine for me, it's just BeamNG.drive
EDIT: well, I'm not on 6.1.39 anymore... I have obviously updated since that post, but the rest is the same...
