Compatibility Report

Cyberpunk (1091500)
Persona 5 Royal (1687950)

System Information

RTX 5070
nvidia 595.71.05
linux-cachyos 7.0.5
Gist
Tried experimental, hotfix, 10, 9 (also ge, cachyos)

I confirm:

that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

Ive only ever seen this happen to persona 5 and cyberpunk, that i coincidentally downloaded at the same time, but i have no clue why it happens to only these two. Both these games randomly freeze up for 5-10 seconds and their processes are stated to be sleeping in btop. The cursor doesnt work, the audio stops, and nothing happens. Ive tried using kde and hyprland and it happens in either, using the wayland driver or x11, and using tons of launch options for dxvk or vkd3d on the internet to no fix. Ive also turned on pre cache compilation just in case its from the shaders compiling but its still happening.

Reproduction

It started randomly happening from the first time i opened either games and i dont know how it happened

Hello @Envixityyy, this feedback needs to be evaluated on a per-game basis and can't be generalized. Please add a note with your findings to the compatibility reports for each of these games (#4450 and #8687)
