Man, sounds like it would work great to power the teleporter I invented.

Right. The increase is from ~$69, so it’s +~45% more expensive. If it was a decrease from the $101 it would be ~31% cheaper.

Yeah I was curious where the 30% was originating when it looks like 45%

Agreed. Relevant: https://youtube.com/shorts/0k23djFBHt8

No, not at all! Just wanted to clarify if I was misunderstanding.

It would matter more for your ability to fall asleep at night if your bedroom faces West. Do you mean it affects your ability to sleep in late?

I know this is revisiting an old post, I’ve been unable to game for some time. When I try this I don’t get any other information. However, I have seen a lot of other issues system wide that just make it feel unstable. Like when playing I will have system wide freezes not just the game freeze (unable to move mouse/keyboard is unresponsive/etc.), I’ve had issues in Firefox where pages will just freeze or be non-responsive and have to force close the program or again it’s system wide freezes. So I’m pretty sure it’s not Steam related and is just the whole OS. I can’t really get logs because when the system freezes my only option seems to be hard shut down then reboot.

If they were for any price, this is still true.

Yes I tried every Proton version on Steam

Could you give a reference for what numbers may be abnormal/potential failures? So I can keep an eye on them while troubleshooting the issue.

I did try checking the logs but nothing seems to show in terminal for Steam. Are separate logs for each game instance kept somewhere or do I need to live monitor in a terminal somehow while the game is playing?

How do I do that? Also, is there a check to see if this is the issue before doing it?

Okay will do. And yes because I had to Force Stop it through steam rather than it crashing on its own I didn’t see any super helpful logs. I will try the command you sent when I am able!

No, it’s not available through Steam. So far I’ve only tried the Proton versions available in Steam compatibility settings.

I also added the launcher skip command in Steam, and have been running with Proton Experimental (though I have tried many other versions). I am running the version of Steam installed via Mint’s Software Manager, not sure what flatpak is or what it would change.

I also am currently running the following kernel: 6.8.0-58-generic (per the Update Manager).

It was via USB, just not a flash memory stick but rather an external drive.

Okay so if X11 is what fixed it for you, I should stick with X11 it sounds like. Is that correct?

Which Proton Version did you try? I think I’ve been through each of them available on Steam but can retry a specific one to troubleshoot.

Alright I got it installed. This was attempt 2, (Step 1 in another comment basically with no changes to get a baseline).

I installed mangohud and configured to show GPU load, CPU load, VRAM, RAM, GPU temp, and CPU temp. I booted the game again, and this time from pressing Continue and loading into the game, I didn’t even have time to start the timer. I would guess maybe 2s before freezing. Onscreen stats from MangoHUD read “GPU 98%, 53C, CPU 64% 71C, VRAM 7.9GiB, RAM 9.0GiB”.

CPU and GPU both shot way up from the baseline configuration example in GOverlay I used. Looks like this may be the issue. I’ll try to get the temps down and retry.
