I have been having crashes consistently on Linux that I don't get on windows, personally. But seems more like a me issue as most people say it runs great.
Are you using GE-Proton?
I had stability issue with Proton and Proton Experimental.
Yes I have been using Proton - I have tried Hotfix, Experimental and the default one. Haven't heard of Ge-Before is that something separate?
Ah.
GloriousEggroll keeps a version of proton that uses all of steam updates plus additional updates made by the community (to fix odd issues) and protonfixes (a database of scripts to make the weird game-specific configurations you need to make sometimes). I use it exclusively because I've had issues with regular Proton. I think the default Proton versions are still version 9(or there's an experimental Wine 10 version). GE-Proton10 is using Wine 10, so it has support for native Wayland and HDR.
Your distro probably has protonup-qt in its repo. It's a GUI to download and install various community proton versions. Just run it, click install new version and grab the latest GE-Proton10-(28?) and restart Steam and it'll show up in the list of Proton versions that you can pick.
Iv only been hearing people having issues if they are on mint, pop or other out of date distros. Fedora and arch based distros seem to never have issues with arc.
Thats fair - I am using mint but have everything updated so could just be SOL.
Have you tried to increase/check the max_map_count ? That fixed it for me.
