Hey gang, I’m having trouble running this game. I have a Ryzen 7 7800X3D, RTX 4070 Ti Super, 64GB DDR5 RAM, on a B650 motherboard. My issue is frequent crashing/freezing, meaning I can’t play longer than a few minutes at a time. I have tried re-installing the game, Steam, the entire OS, and then fully wiping the drives to remove Windows dual partition and only installing Mint. Then I was pointed to the drivers, so I tried updating using the ppa(?) driver availability as Mint only offered the nVidia 550 through Driver Manager. I tried each of the separate drivers, rebooting between each load, and still having the same issue. For reference, I was able to run through character creator and early intro of the Streetkid after many failed attempts. But then I get to the ride-along with Dexter DeShawn which does not have skippable sections and takes too long. So the length of that conversation is too long before the game either freezes or outright crashes.

Any suggestions are welcome, it’s really really annoying me and pretty disheartening after hearing how everything just works on Linux (other than competitive online games, which I don’t really play anyway).

Edit to add: I also tried the different Proton versions available through Steam, where I purchased the game.

    Hm this part of the log doesn’t look like the error. Those messages usually show up after the process has crashed. If there is nothing that looks like it’s gamecrash related to you further above in the log, type sudo dmesg --follow in a terminal. This display the logs of all device drivers on a kernel level. While that is open, start the game and wait for it to freeze and see if any errors show up.

    Also, if you post log messages again please put them in a

    codeblock

    by typing it like this:
    ```
    codeblock
    ```
    Should be more readable. If the log is rather long just put it into a pastebin or some other text sharing service.

      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!
