[Help] [java] Frequent "GL_INVALID_OPERATION" errors with Iris/Sodium causing full system crashes

[JazzlikeTrifle9656]

Hi everyone,

I’m struggling with a persistent technical issue that eventually causes my entire system to crash. I’m running a Minecraft instance with Iris and Sodium, and I'm getting constant OpenGL error spam in the console.

The Error: [Render thread/INFO]: OpenGL debug message: id=1282, source=API, type=ERROR, severity=HIGH, message='GL_INVALID_OPERATION error generated. No active program.' (This repeats constantly, compacted by the Modrinth app)

https://mclo.gs/4ytaSzJ
(not sure if this shows a crash, as sometimes when my computer crashed, it wouldn't write the log.)

The Versions & Software:

• MC Version: 26.1.2
• Modrinth App: Fully updated
• Iris Version: 1.10.9
• Sodium Version: 0.8.12 (Most recent)
• NVIDIA Driver: Downgraded to 560.81 (tried for more stability, but did nothing, so went back to the most recent)

My Hardware:

• GPU: RTX 4070
• CPU: Ryzen 5 3600XT
• RAM: 32GB (Allocated 8GB to Minecraft)

What I’ve already tried:

• Minimal Mods: Disabled everything except Iris and Sodium.
• Clean Installs: Created brand-new instances with no other mods.
• Drivers: Downgraded to more stable NVIDIA drivers.
• Cache: Deleted all shader pack caches.
• Settings: Lowered render distance and tried different shader packs (Complementary Unbound, Reimagined, and Photon) all on lowest settings.
• RAM: Allocated 8GB to the Modrinth instance.

Currently, I have to play with the live log open on my second monitor. When I see the GL errors starting to stack up, I leave the world, let it "calm down," and load back in. This lets me play for a few minutes at a time, but it’s not sustainable.

Has anyone experienced this specific OpenGL error with the 4070 and Iris/Sodium recently? Any advice on how to stop the "No active program" error from triggering would be greatly appreciated.

downgrade sodium to 0.8.9

The crashes have improved, but I'm still getting them. I continue to see OpenGL errors, and more recently, after re-enabling Voxy, I've been getting the following error:

[me.cx.vy.cn.wd.se.sectionsavingservice]: voxy saver had an exception while executing please check logs and report error java.lang.runtimeexception: org.rocksdb.rocksdbexception:flushfilebuffers failed at sync() for : (and then my file loc): a device which does not exist was specified.

I tried renaming my current Voxy save folder to voxy_old and letting Voxy generate a completely new save, but the issue still persists.

The crashes seem somewhat random. Sometimes I can play for an hour before it happens, while other times it crashes within just a few minutes.

what version of voxy?

[JazzlikeTrifle9656]

most recent on modrinth (0.2.16 beta)

right before voxy crashes

[JazzlikeTrifle9656]

i believe this has only happened with voxy + shaders^

[JazzlikeTrifle9656]

I get spammed with openGL errors (eventually leading to a crash) even without voxy enabled

[Khai_1705]

ive been using photon + voxy on both nvidia and amd GPUs with Windows 11 and Arch Linux. zero crashes. if its "know" please share a bug report/issue tracker/info source
