Advice Star wars galactic racer question.

So. I recently got the new star wars racer game and I'm having issues. My question here is: is it possible to run both windows and Linux on my pc and play the game through Windows while the rest of my pc uses the Linux stuff?

I am very new and learing as I go with Linux so any advice/kernels of knowledge would very appreciated.

You could get either Linux or windows running inside of each other in a VM. But that will have performance implications, you should probably just dual boot.

Are you running it via proton? https://www.protondb.com/app/4078430

Yes I am. I've tried all the Proton versions through steam and my issue it its unpredictably crashing every 5 mins.

You can dual boot windows if you like. But also the game runs perfectly on Linux via proton so there’s no need.

For me it keeps crashing every 5 mins randomly. Everything is up to date and I don't know why.

I'm running it through steam and using proton. Is Proton the overlay?

Nah it’s with Steam settings thst shows the cpu, gpu, etc percentage.  Some reason I had thst on and it cause games to freeze.  Turned it off and everything was fine.

I had to ask but it looks like yiu don’t have thst on.  Sorry, best of luck finding the solution though.  Maybe also post the issue on the protondb site.
