[Linux/General] Compatibility & Crashes

[Nxt]

Hey everyone,

I’m starting a general thread for Linux users playing Deadlock to compare experiences and try to identify common issues.

Sorry if this comes off a bit frustrated, but I’ve been having a pretty rough time with it lately. I’ve been running the game through Proton/Wine and keep hitting random crashes, occasional freezes, and even some file integrity issues.

I’m trying to figure out whether this is something on my end or if others are running into similar problems.

If you’ve experienced anything like this, I’d really appreciate hearing:

• What distro and kernel you’re using.
• What Proton/Wine version you’re running.
• What seems to trigger the issue (if anything).
• Any fixes or workarounds you’ve tried that helped.

Even just knowing I’m not the only one dealing with this would help a lot & I could try to recreate some of those stuff.

Remember, Do not copy paste commands but some of you seem new to Linux so here are some basics list of commands you can use to gather more info. )
lspci, lscpu, uname -r

Distro/Kernel Version: NixOS + CachyOS kernel 6.19.X + KDE plasma, all latest versions
GPU + Driver: 9070XT + latest mesa
CPU: 9800X3D
Proton/Wine Version: Proton-GE / Proton-CachyOS latest
Game Version/Build (if known): all builds from 2 months ago till today

Issues Experienced: random crashes during matches, sometimes requiring reboot, sometimes crashing to the desktop.
When it happens: from 1 time every 2 games to 3 times in a single game, usually happens when something occurs like pressing a spell or getting punched, but it's seemingly random what action triggers it.
i have no idea how to replicate the crashes, seems totally random and sometimes happens like 2 minutes apart, while sometimes I can play 2 games without crashing and join the third one and get 3 crashes in 25 minutes even playing the same hero.
Workarounds tried: changing multiple graphics settings
dx11 and vulkan
multiple proton versions (GE, cachy, hotfix, experimental)
update everything as soon as it is available (drivers, kernel, proton, etc)
nothing seems to make any difference
Logs / Errors / Messages: random proton crash when returning to desktop, did not look on the system logs on reboot
