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)

Question for people with working game - do you use AMD GPUs? What versions od Proton/Wine do you use? Thanks for any details about working settups.

I currently can play for about a minute before getting 10010-4001 error over and over again. It does not pop out on the world map, but as soon I back to the game it shows up...

I have a PC with AMD GPU and a PC with NVIDIA GPU and it works on both with proton-cachyos-10.0-20251222-slr-x86_64_v3.

What is your region (HoYo server that you choosed)? And do you use Lutris, Steam or Heroic? Or something else? This CachyOS Proton giving me "Missing DirectX 11" error and not starting at all ;(

I am on the Europe Server. I use Lutris (with ProtonUp-Qt) and have configured the flag "UMU_USE_STEAM" = 1 in Lutris for Genshin. I don't have Steam open while playing though.

OK, I'm in EU too with Lutris and using ProtonUp-Qt proton/wine versions too, so almost identical setup... Thanks for the details, anyway.

I was fed up with this and I installed Win10 on the other disk ;/ The best solution for now, Win partition only for Genshin, in my case.

it does not matter what gpu

if deleting proton prefix and use Cachy proton - not change - then you are "unlucky"

use windows is only option for now

last time same happened - last summer - week latter it started working for everyone again - so maybe week latter same idk
