    After shutting out the possibility of this being a RAM issue by passing all tests of Memtest86, I tried setting this kernel option. It seemingly solved the problem, Noita doesn't crash the system after two minutes like it used to.

    Thank you for your answer!

  • Hi all! When I'm playing Noita through Proton Experimental (tried v8.0-2 too but the problem persists), my whole system freezes in two minutes tops while in-game. Audio still plays, but the system doesn't respond to mouse or keyboard inputs (so I can't switch to a TUI to kill the GNOME shell). When this happens, I can only hard reset my laptop. This started happening with Team Fortress 2 too, although much less frequently. The error persists when running the games in fullscreen _and_ also in windowed mode. So far, I narrowed it down to it being a GNOME bug or a [known issue with Pop!_OS](https://github.com/pop-os/pop/issues/1172). I tried stopping autostart of the appcenter deamon, disabling _all_ of the installed GNOME extensions, running the games in windowed mode but the problem is still here. I am beyond confused as to what to do. I'm thinking on dual booting Windows even lol. Can anyone help me?
