i thought the game only crash on manjaro but after coming back to fedora, it presist.

unless if i use fedora kernel 6.19.10 fallback with proton GE from flatpak plugin (not protonplus), both game completely crash pc before finished the intro level.

ironically they are labeled as PLATINUM in protondb yet i tried all runnable proton today (7-11) and all of them crash the pc.

i do have feeling it has something to do with the game only running older kernel like 6.12 before NTSync implemented, tho i cant verify it myself.

game running on custom engine so i cant find other game as reference to reproduce the bug.

Hello @Jarniwan, issues with Linux native games should be reported to the game's dev(s). Having written that, if you're tripping MCE errors, then that strongly suggests a hardware or microcode issue.

gpt also said the same thing. i wish i could believe it myself but the issue is i can still play the game at all from start to finish if i used both kernel fallback 6.19 and proton ge from steam flatpak plugin.

forgot to mention i have played this before long before used linux anyway so its just hard to believe.

can you at least play the game yourself in your own distro to prove me something? i just need a witness.
