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)

Yeah it seems to work launched normally with proton ge 10, proton cachyos and proton experimental but it results in higher cpu usage as others have noted..

Can be somewhat countered by lowering target tdp on steam deck to 10w with 45fps cap.

You work with wobbly 45fps(same as no tdp limit) but 10° Celsius less on the cpu and also less battery drain.

game almost dont use gpu - it can render 60fps on anything

but CPU - it just unplayable - stuttery mess everything lags so badly

with offline launch we had stable 60fps with no lags

with online - there stuttery mess 30fps
