I've been experiencing freezes after ~1h of playing. Those are hard freezes when even switching workspace doesn't work. Restarting the game helps for another hour

I've tried what few options from protondb but haven't noticed much change

Am I the only one?

Do you have steam overlay disabled? If so try the LD_PRELOAD workaround by entering:

LD_PRELOAD="" %command%

in the game's launch options.

This was supposed to be fixed by now but I still have the issue intermittently with some games. Usually they just start lagging, but rarely they will full crash.

Please update once you confirm it does or doesn't work.

EDIT: More about what this variable does, for the curious: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Steam/Troubleshooting

Oh, I haven't tried that and AFAIK I'm not even using it. I'll check, thanks
