Disco Elysium randomly freezes

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 21 Nov 2025 - 4:49am

In dialogues, during loading screens, including the one going into main menu, during movement on locations. Without rhyme or reason. Used Proton Hotfix, 9 and 10, tried window mode, tried different graphical settings -- nothing helps. Game can work fine for five minutes, or freeze every five steps taken, only to go on fine after a few reloads. When the game freezes, sound still goes on undistorted and the game does not close itself, requiring killing the process. Another thing is, when alt-tabbing or otherwise switching to another window the game reliably freezes about 9 times out of 10.

I'm using Linux Mint, with a Lenovo Laptop that is well above recomended requirments. Since the laptop has 12th gen intel CPU, I thought that might be the issue, like it was with Titanfall 2 for me, but using the string of launch attributes that fixed TF 2 for me did nothing for Disco Elysium (the string being: "OPENSSL_ia32cap=~0x20000000 %command%." without brackets)
