MuseScore doesn't work at high refresh rate (170hz)

• Mar 7, 2022 - 02:46

I am running Arch Linux with MuseScore 3.6.2 installed from Arch's "community" repository. It crashes my PC when I run it at 170hz. At best, my operating system force quits MuseScore for me. At worst, my PC restarts automatically.

I have had the EXACT same symptoms on Manjaro and Pop!OS. On those distributions, I have also tried the Flatpak (3.6.2), Snap (both MuseScore 3.2 and 2), and both the newest stable, unstable, and nightly AppImages.
I have been researching this for months now, and it's like nobody else is having the same problem. I sincerely apologize if this is a repost, because if it is, it does not show up on Google anywhere.

Hopefully this is reproducible; all help is appreciated?

It sounds like an incompatibility/driver bug between Qt and your display driver. The reason to suspect the driver here is that you can get a full system reboot, which is pretty hard to achieve from userspace code..

What should I do in that case? This happened to me on older NVidia drivers iirc.

You could try reaching out to the Qt support platforms; although the nightlies still use Qt 5.15 as well, so it seems unlikely that a fix will be rolled out if found (They're on 6.x by now).
But perhaps they know of settings/workarounds that can help you out more.

I found out that X11 doesn't support refresh rates over 165hz on qt5, but Wayland does. Because of this, I switched to Wayland and now everything works properly. Thank you for pointing me in that direction; I had no idea it could have been an issue with qt5!

Update: Musescore runs with GSync @ 60hz. Because of this, I'm guessing the refresh rate is the problem here.
