Symptoms

The game immediately freezes or crashes at the "Planetary Generation" screen.

Reproduction

link to the Steam system infos

  1. Launch the game
  2. In the dedicated Frontier launcher, launch the game
  3. After the "Elite Dangerous logo" and animation, the game will do the cache
  4. The game will attempt to do the "Planetary Generation System" screen and it will freeze or crash immediately (it's random, it freezes or crashes but the problem is the same, the game does not load)

I tested with Proton 6.x and older, the game WILL load but within 3 minutes into the game, it will freeze my entire X session, i need to switch tty to kill the process.
I already tried the Epic Games version (as i have a legacy version of elite dangerous that's obsolete since almost 3 years and it works)
