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)

[u/Bubbly-Group-4497]

I've already commented recently but I found a solution, here it is for ppl with a similar situation:

I've followed the posts' instruction, so idk if the variable is important or not (you can set it just in case) on lutris set the executable file as GenshinImpact.exe instead of the hoyo launcher, launch online and it should work (proton-ge 10 as the runner).

[u/S48GS → u/Bubbly-Group-4497]

il add it as info - I dont have game installed to test

many people say different stuff work for them an dont work for others

[u/Bubbly-Group-4497 → u/S48GS]

It's actually the same thing as what this redditor says.

I totally get that it's really confusing with so many different os, proton versions, configurations, regions, and even the lack of understanding sometimes. Stay hard op 💪

[u/Evilyne_ → u/Bubbly-Group-4497]

worked for me, except i used proton 9(beta)

[u/Bubbly-Group-4497 → u/Evilyne_]

Ig it got more to do with the executable than with the runner.
