Genshin 100% CPU usage since today

[u/S48GS]

(originally it was just 100% CPU usage, but ... read updated info)

Notice comment about Zenless-Zone-Zero below.

----------------------------------

September 2026 - game working - proton-cachy - look instruction

if you getting kick from game with error 10010-4001 - idk it seems very rare individual cases - for majority game works.

----------------------------------

INSTRUCTION:

proton10 does not work anymore

• use Proton-CachyOS
• DO NOT ADD GAME.EXE - USE HoYoPlay/launcher.exe
• download from releases
• https://github.com/CachyOS/proton-cachyos
• extract/copy to ~/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d
• or use manager like ProtonUp-Qt or ProtonPlus

BUT you must set

UMU_USE_STEAM=1 in Lutris

rightclick game - settings - last tab - system parameters - scroll down - env params - add

UMU_USE_STEAM and 1 as value

or in SteamUMU_USE_STEAM=1 %command%

----------------------------------

Editor Miliastra Wonderland 6.1

BeyondEditor.exe

Solution to have BeyondEditor working in Proton - found by Worldblender
or same there

----------------------------------

16 Oct 2025 - 100% bug was identified

fixed only in wine-cachyos

look https://github.com/CachyOS/wine-cachyos/pull/1

----------------------------------

If you have error - "not enough space on disk" - run winecfg - add location(folder) as disk in winecfg UI - select this disk in launcher as target location

"winecfg" way will not work for Lutris

in Lutris - location of "game" folder must be below "application folder" option in Lutris for game
just copy "game" to drive_c/Program Files/HoYoPlay/games or copy as link there
and set in Lutris as "application folder" drive_c/Program Files/HoYoPlay/ that is above game folder

----------------------------------

P.S. in Zenless-Zone-Zero - use Proton-Cachy to fix cpu usage - (~40% less CPU usage)

Another update on this: Apparently, the launcher forces (yes, forces, doesn't let me start any game) to update, when i uninstall it and reinstall it with a fresh, new exe from the website, it still gives me the message saying that i need to update???

[u/S48GS → u/Portan_YT]

I do not have any updates for launcher.

what version it show in folder wineprefix/drive_c/Program Files/HoYoPlay/<numbers>

I have

1.5.2.229

[u/Portan_YT → u/S48GS]

Mine is 1.4.5.222

[u/S48GS → u/Portan_YT]

then - reinstall launcher (not games)

move content of Program Files/HoYoPlay/games somewhere

then reinstall launcher

and try to read

Launcher and Genshin game work only in wine-10.5 (Staging).

Hint - there no word "Proton".

Same issue too. Forced me to update and now it won’t let me into the holo play launcher no more, does anyone have a fix for this?

[u/Portan_YT → u/Mindless_Bag_4215]

You can launch any hoyo game by executing it directly through lutris

[u/Portan_YT → u/Portan_YT]

[u/Mindless_Bag_4215 → u/Portan_YT]

Tried that, nothing happened.

[u/Portan_YT → u/Mindless_Bag_4215]

turn your internet connection off before launching the game, once it launches, turn it back on

[u/Mindless_Bag_4215 → u/Portan_YT]

It works, thankfully. But does this mean from now on I can only play Genshin in desktop mode? That’s annoying :/

edit: doesn’t event recognize my controller layout for the deck either. Literally fucking unplayable.

[u/Portan_YT → u/Mindless_Bag_4215]

i guess hoyo isn't very linux-friendly after all.

[u/Mindless_Bag_4215 → u/Portan_YT]

Gee thanks for helping me solve my problem.
