Hello @Duelant782, we're using one issue report per unofficially supported game title, so I've gone ahead and transferred this issue report to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8914#issuecomment-3514019923.

Compatibility Report
System Information
I confirm:
Symptoms
This is on a Manjaro (Optimus) laptop (MSI Cyborg 15 A12VF) with an NVIDIA RTX 4060 Mobile.
The game is launched with
prime-run %command%and runs perfectly (120-140 FPS), confirming the NVIDIA dGPU is in use.However, the game hard-freezes (process hangs) 100% of the time when joining an online multiplayer match. The rest of the OS remains responsive.
This appears to be a specific conflict between EasyAntiCheat (EAC), the NVIDIA driver on an Optimus setup, and Proton, as the freeze only triggers when EAC activates for multiplayer.
(Note: The attached Steam System Info Gist incorrectly shows the Intel iGPU as the primary driver, as is common for hybrid graphics laptops, but the game is definitely running on the NVIDIA dGPU, confirmed by the high FPS).
