Diablo IV freezes in Linux (beehaw.org)

Any of you running D4 in Linux through Lutris?

I'm currently on openSUSE Tumbleweed with Lutris installed as a flatpak from flathub.

The game runs pretty decently though I had to turn down the graphics a bit compared to what I can run in Windows.

After a while tho the game starts chugging and then basically freezes almost completely. I can still hear sounds in the background but the game looks like it slows down to like one frame per minute and I can't tab out or switch over to a terminal with alt ctrl F* either. Basically my entire computer slows to a halt and I end up having to do a hard pwoer off.

Anyone else having this problem?

I'm running via steam/proton, and I've encountered the situation you describe twice. Both times were after playing for several hours. Being difficult to reproduce, it hasn't bothered me much.

    When it happens during each session it gets a bit tiresome. Especially when progress wasn't being correctly saved. Had to redo a bunch of quest steps which gets old pretty quickly.

    Installed directly via steam on X11 running buttery smooth here. Proton 8.0

    Installed via Steam? You can't install Diablo via Steam can you? Just add it as a non steam game shortcut?

    Works now though! It was just sucking up all my ram. :P

    I have it installed through Lutris in the same way you have, running on Arch instead but that should make no difference really. I don't have those problems at the moment.

    Perhaps your setting within Lutris are not right? Which version of proton are you running?
