I try to play this game on Linux. I use CachyOS. I installed it through Lutris, as recommended. And game "works", with GE-Proton-10-29. Launcher works. I can launch the game from it, and join the server. But after a very tiny bit of playing, game just freezes permanently. I always forces me to close it by force, through Lutris. Does anybody know, what I could do to fix this? Just in case, here's my laptop's specifications:
CPU: Intel(R) Core (TM) i5-8250U (8) @ 3.40 GHz
Integrated GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 620 @ 1.10 GHz
Discrete/Integrated GPU: NVIDIA GeForce MX150
RAM: 8 GB
Game keeps freezing

Re: Game keeps freezing
I have a similar, older Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro laptop, and everything works fine under Windows 11. However, even on minimum settings the performance is not enough (50-90 fps in half-empty zones). I play mostly solo, and if warbands start gathering in the zone, I get 20-40 fps and constant lag. However, critical freezes happen very rarely, after frequent zone changes during flights due to memory leaks. Frequent reboots help a weak PC, especially after changing the active zone.

No help for some time. I guess that either not much people saw it, or there's no solution to my problem. Well, that's a pity

You got a response on the linux thread where you posted this the first time, asking you some follow-up questions, and you didn't reply: https://www.returnofreckoning.com/forum ... 23#p590523PaulJ5 wrote: Fri Feb 06, 2026 2:12 pm No help for some time.

Oh damn. I didn't saw that. I though that my comment there got removed. I'm blind (-_-;)
Re: Game keeps freezing
Alright. I used the advise from my first post, and it worked. Like that person said, I just needed to add PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1, to environment variables, for this game and it stopped freezing permanently. I first tried in Heroic Games Launcher and that game does not like it, because it kept not working. But in recommended Lutris, it worked very well.
