I am on a fresh cachyos install. my specs are 5070ti, 9800x3d, 32gb 6000mhz ddr5 ram. When playing Cyberpunk 2077 after around 10-15 mins of gameplay the game will freeze. If I quickly press the windows key and click back into the game it will resume. However this is pointless, because the game will always inevitably freeze. This does not freeze my entire system, only the game. I can alt tab and kill the process no problem.

It also only seems to be this game, I ran spider-man miles morales for 2 hours no problem. I ran cyberpunk on windows just to see if it also had the issue. Windows was able to run the game for a few hours no problem. I wasn’t able to find similar reports on protondb. Idk if this is just because of a recent patch or something is up with my system. Any help is appreciated! Thank you for your time!

EDIT: The issue seems to be solved! Thank you all for your help!! I was having this issue before switching to windows when I had screen lock/sleep mode off. I think the issue originally was an unstable ram profile that was fixed with a motherboard bios update. When I reinstalled cachyos I had sleep mode/lock screen active which led to the most recent crash causing me to post here.

    Working on getting logs, the game is open now. I am just waiting for it to freeze again. Sorry about that should have thought of it before posting. I turned screen locking and sleep mode off so idk if that would be it.

    EDIT: Actually I think you may be on to something. This is the longest the game has lasted. I did actually have screen locking and sleep mode on! I had these crashes on my original cachy install where I had it off. I then installed windows to test and I also updated my motherboard bios. The game ran fine in windows (even better because the dx12 bug was not present). So I wanted to give cachy a go again, I then reinstalled it and ran the game again and left my pc. My previous install of cachy I for sure had screen lock and sleep off.

    This install I forgot, when I left the pc the game had froze again and then I posted. This time I turned it off and the game is approaching 2 hours! So I think my motherboard was unstable because of expo profiles before the bios update, The bios update fixed the previous crashes, and now the crash before this post was because of screen lock/sleep. I am gonna let it run another half hour with different settings just to make sure.
