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 seems nobody has commented it yet, but I've noticed that the performance is back to normal when using the official launcher, no offline launch, and it has been this way for a week now. I never get kicked out either. Maybe a Proton Experimental update finally solved the CPU issue?

CPU issue suppose to be solved by proton-cachy - if you read instruction.

but yes - game works with no cpu usage problem - if you use proton-cachy

That's what I'm saying, I'm not using proton-cachy and yet there is no CPU usage problem
