I've been experiencing freezes after ~1h of playing. Those are hard freezes when even switching workspace doesn't work. Restarting the game helps for another hour

I've tried what few options from protondb but haven't noticed much change

Am I the only one?

I use gamemode to run mine on e-cores only because hyperthreading causes it to freeze after loading in (either for the first time, or when changing maps). It was usually temporary, but once it just froze my entire system, and when I loaded back in, I was in the middle of quicksand and my copter was gone. :( Turning off hyperthreading also solves that problem, but that would affect everything else I run.

I've heard that ht can cause issues on Intel. I'll check that, thanks
