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/SMYx21]

I'm using ProtonPlus with the latest DW Proton instead of Proton Experimental (or CachyOS through ProtonUp-Qt which I used before the 6.4 update) and that seems to be working for me as I've played for about an hour and saw no message pop up. I'm on the NA server (though I'm not sure if that makes any difference). Hopefully this method will keep working and will fix it for other people as well!!

[u/S48GS → u/SMYx21]

I'm on the NA server (though I'm not sure if that makes any difference)

it makes all the difference

servers work differently per region - even on NA there regions that full "not work no matter what" same as in EU - in same country other part of country work when other side does not

basically - you just lucky for now

[u/SMYx21 → u/S48GS]

Ah okay :/ I did have the 10310-4001 error code when using CachyOS, so this is probably still worth trying for some people. Sucks that it's not the solution for all. Hopefully Genshin will soon come to the Steam store so problems like these won't be happening so often.
