Hi All,

I get an infrequent error when playing balder gate 3 on Fedora Workstation 40. I run it in direct x11 as vulkan crashed all the time. Any ideas how to fix?

PS very new to Linux/GNU so let me know if you need any additional information.

Are you running it through Lutris? Steam with Proton? That error seems decidedly like a Wine specific problem, which Proton should have ironed out at this stage for this particular game.

*Unless you're trying to play on hardware with incomplete Vulkan support. Then it's a hardware support problem that is unlikely to be fixed in a reasonable timeframe.

I am running it through steam with Proton Experimental and i get the same through Proton 9.0

After further testing it appears when multitasking ans switching windows which explains why it happens so infrequently
