[ X] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
[ X] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.
Adding the logging option prevents the thunk, and replaces it with a hang next time loading into an outdoor cell.
Symptoms
The game was working perfectly until two days ago. Now it thunks on start:
My last savegame is in an interior cell. If I add the proton logging option the game no longer thunks on start, but it hangs when I leave the interior and enter an exterior cell.
My issue is... which issue am I reporting? To report the thunk I need to include a log that prevents the thunk and changes the issue to different problem!
I am attaching the log file here out of completeness because the hang on exit to exterior cell might be related to the thunk: steam-489830.zip
Reproduction
I am running an up to date version of Garuda Linux. I am using Mod Organizer 2. I am running ENB .502, with the helper mod loaded. MO2 launches SKSE64 directly.
I have tried experimental Proton, RADV and AMDVLK, rolling back to the 6.6 LTS kernel, disabling RE-BAR and all the other things linked to past occurrences of this thunk (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/7714).
Start the game from MO2 (which is launched from Steam) and thunk on load. Enable Proton logging and the thunk goes avail but now I can't load exterior cells.
