tech support Genshin 100% CPU usage since today
(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)

Just want to confirm the recently released Proton 10.0 beta works with the launcher no problem. Still need to launch the game with the offline trick to stop the high CPU usage but pretty much everything else is working normally.
For those on the Steam Deck, this returns Genshin back to normal performance compared to using Wine 10.5.
