I would be extremely grateful in to count with your help if possible.
I am trying to run Forza Horizon 5 on my Manjaro Linux (through Valve's Proton), but the game is practically unplayable. It freezes after just a few minutes, forcing me to ALB+TAB and click on that Steam button to close it.
I am on a hybrid system, with a GTX 1060 graphics card, 16GB of RAM and an intel i7 7700 processor. On this same system I can perfectly run several other games, and currently I am playin No Man's Sky without issues, for example.
But Forza Horizon 5 does not runs. I have also played around with several options, enabling and disabling things, reducing the overall quality, etc, etc, without success.
The game freezes completely while the sound still playing. I looked at ProtonDB and saw that many people are getting to play it on Linux, so I really don´t understand what is happening here.
I noticed that totally disabling the firewall (I have GUFW) results in more time of “gameplay” (I can play a bit more before the game freezes totally). But the game always freezes, unfortunately.
In the few minutes I get to play it, it is perfectly playable. I mean, in that few minutes (2 or 3 minutes), everything goes smoothly, without issues. Until the freezing happens, of course.
Thanks in advance for any help.
So, I am already using Proton Experimental.
But I'll try Proton GE to see if it solves the issue.
