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?

Similar specs, I was getting full lock-ups after 1-3hrs.

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Ram: 32gb

Enabled a setting in game to always reserve one cpu core for basic sys functions and haven't crashed since. (Haven't played the recent patches either though)

Found the setting; Settings > Graphics > Limit Process CPU Usage (Experimental)

"Reserves 1 CPU core for background tasks (process affinity). Will reduce game performance."

Enabled and testing.
