Logical92

I too am getting very random seeming? but consistent crashes no matter my settings in Linux. (Using fairly new drivers and kernel)
It seems to possibly be a buffer overrun issue or something similar because the error is
'malloc_consolidate(): unaligned fastbin chunk detected'
which is apparently thrown when something has corrupted malloc's data structures.

Getting the consistent crashes again too

The Flatpak OpenGL runtime seems to have updated to a point that I can't rollback again using the commands provided previously (as there's now a difference between the '20.08' commits and the '21.08' commits... or something... I don't fully understand Flatpak). AUR package gives me the same problem too!

I am also receiving the same crashes that Logical92 is referencing.

Running the native client, from command line, when the game crashes I get a "malloc_consolidate(): unaligned fastbin chunk detected" message.

Same error here, it's becoming very annoying because sometimes I can play for an hour straight without crashing, others the game crashes 3 times in 10 minutes (that's when I usually rage quit for the day) and I haven't been able to figure out what's triggering it.

I'm running fully upgraded Arch Linux (although this happened to me on Ubuntu too) with KDE Plasma and an AMD GPU with Mesa drivers.

Message wiped as the information is no longer relevant.

Snap saves the day! I've been trying to avoid it for so long yet I find myself using it to play RuneScape.

Thanks a lot @Hmm

I attached gdb to rs2client to get a backtrace of where the crash was occurring.

This is the backtrace, which seems to confirm a problem with MESA (radeonsi_dri.so is provided by libgl1-mesa-dri on Debian):

Might be worth a try creating an issue for the mesa drivers.

Just to confirm as per Hmm's post - the Snap did indeed save the day!
