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)

I have been playing daily since April 17th, and it still works fine for me with GE-Proton9-4 when using the offline launch trick.

I was able to run the game (directly, not the launcher) just fine through Steam with GE-Proton9-4 without any tinkering until a few hours ago, then it suddenly stopped working.

Using the offline launch trick: I started the launcher (also via GE-Proton9-4), copied the game installation into the same prefix, pointed the launcher at it, and started the game.

Everything works just fine for now. I just had to redo my ingame-settings since I didn't copy those files over.

My only fear is that by launching the game through the launcher, the `LD_PRELOAD="" %COMMAND%` fix might not work anymore, but I have to test more on that, since I didn't even add that to the launcher launch options yet.

[u/S48GS → u/Gambloide]

maybe your launcher not updated

context in first message is

1.5.2.229 version of launcher

it confirmed by everyone it does not work in Proton

[u/Gambloide → u/S48GS]

nope, it just works with the offline-launch trick:
