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.
I had some weird issues with freezing and black screen and changing from Wayland to X11 fixed it.
I do not know what Wayland nor X11 is. I’m running Linux Mint with Cinnamon(?).
X11 and Wayland are essentially the way your computer puts graphics on the screen. X11 is old, and thus missing many modern features, but works with basically anything. Wayland is new, has new features support, and can break shit randomly
Cinnamon defaults to X11, Wayland is available by logging out and clicking the icon that looks like a mountain (cinnamon logo) and choosing Cinnamon Wayland (Beta)
Okay so if X11 is what fixed it for you, I should stick with X11 it sounds like. Is that correct?
