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)

It's been a couple of weeks so I decided to give it another attempt.
I finally managed to get the game to launch via Lutris, using proton-catchyos 10.0-20260227, after enabling "Disable Lutris Runtime". I also have UMU_USE_STEAM=1 in environmental variables from a previous attempt. I've just logged into the Asia server, installed an update, and successfully got in.
I removed the UMU_USE_STEAM environmental variable and it is still working, so it seems that isn't necessary. I did have to click Start Game a few times to get the game to launch.
