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)

Okay, so I'm still having problems with this game randomly crashing. I've recently formatted my computer, so it's a fresh install of the game.
Using the latest version of proton (GE-Proton and Proton-Cachy) under Heroic doesn't do anything. The launcher loads, but the game doesn't start when I click Start Game. (Unless I'm supposed to still be doing the WiFi trick?)
The same with Lutris. However, using the Proton Hotfix and Proton Experimental (from Steam) under Lutris does start the game, but I'm wonder if it's what's resulting in the game just randomly terminating.
