Do homosexuals have some better control over their body temperatures?

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).

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.

Okay just tried it again to get a better test. To troubleshoot, I’m starting with nothing and will hopefully only change/monitor 1 thing at a time.

Just booting the PC, opening Steam via Terminal, and playing the game using Proton Experimental selected, it ran for 2m 9s before freezing (my save is right before talking to Padre after leaving the bar for the opening sequence, game freezes during the car ride before I have a chance to save again. I have been able to get past this before, at least enough to make a save on the other side, but this length of time may serve as a good reference for someone.)

Steam has a popup window that reads “steam_app_1091500 is not responding; You may choose to wait a short while for it to continue or force the app to quit entirely.” After about 5 minutes nothing changes, but I can’t even access that popup because it is frozen. I have to CTRL+ALT+Tab to Steam to then click “Stop” there. Here is what the Terminal reads from opening until game force closing:

I do not know what Wayland nor X11 is. I’m running Linux Mint with Cinnamon(?).

Did you do anything special during setup? I couldn’t find many reports specific to this card on ProtonDB, but lots of people were using different Proton versions that weren’t available on Steam so wasn’t sure if that was it.
