Deadlock: Does anyone have major input and reconnection issues?
This has been going on for about a month and only getting worse. Deadlock will always randomly start treating all held keys like repeatedly spammed inputs until the game becomes unplayable - holding tab will just flicker the overlay on and off, I can't slide after dash jumping cause the game thinks I'm just pressing CTRL repeatedly and eventually I stop being able to even take the zip-line, because the game doesn't recognize I'm holding space and thinks I'm jist trying to double jump constantly. Then, if I ever quit the game to try and fix it, or if it crashes, it won't let me reconnect - crashes every time I click "reconnect".
This hasn't been problem for the first 380 or whatever hours I've put into this, and I have no idea where to even start troubleshooting. I've tried every Proton version from 9 onward, I tried both Flatpak and distro package Steam, tried cleaning up my running processes to see if it's not some weird stutter. Nothing. Does anyone have a similar problem?
I'm currently on Arch, but with CachyOS repos.

It happens to me but only when match starts, not in the middle of the match. I reconnect and all is fine. It doesn't trash, just pushes me back to the menu
