I suffer from random game freezes when the game tries to load info during a match. The game just freezes and I must to restart my computer and reconnect. This happens up to 3 times during a match. No other signs.
I'm using openSuse Tumbleweed. And I'm not forcing the use of specific Steam Play compatibility tool. I'm playing the game as "out of the box"- no other commands or settings.
Edit: And I'm getting temporary game bans to not play because of all the drops and reconnects.
Also, You are getting all the bans and penalties from this.
I'm getting banned because the game freezes randomly and I need to disconnect and reconnect, again. The game counts this as a rage quit and bans me from playing.
Now, I have a 2 hour temporary ban and a low priority match just because the game is buggy. I must to stop playing the game or to face possibility of a worst penalty.
I am not on Linux and im encountering the same problem, and i do not think its operating system or hardware related. its something to do with the connectivity between the users and the host server. you can check the ping and location and it seems different each match. i speculate that after a large enough lag spike, something gets out of sync between the user's client and the server, and the user's client is unable to fully reconcile and catch up with the server. resulting in the camera getting stuck and player models being frozen in place yet their running animations may still be looping. also, in game sounds can be heard and any time someone uses a weapon or an ability, the particle effects and tracers can be seen coming from their player. the kill feed still works, but it doesn't clear and just keeps stacking. the user can still send or read chat messages, and they can also still move their character around and use their abilities, however they cannot see what they're doing at all.
the only way to avoid punishment for abandoning is to stay in the match until it is complete, or to leave only after enough other players have left making it safe to leave.
i speculate the lag spikes aren't just bad net code or something due to latency compensation, but cheaters attempting to kick other players from the lobby as to make it safe for themselves to leave, or simply out of spite. because i can be on a good server with 20ping and get one of these quick lag spikes that freeze my game. and all it takes is one of those spikes and the match is ruined for me. this has happened about 15% of the time and ive played around 53 matches
I've been able to play fine for weeks but with the last 5 updates it's been getting worse and worse to the point with the update today it doesn't even reaches the opening splash screen with the Valve logo.
I've tried it both with proton and native on Manjaro with re-installs.
I'm getting the bans now as well, I can't help leaving since the game crashes.
At least it's now so bad that the game doesn't even start, so I can't really join a game and get a ban for the game crashing, so that's the only good point for this game so far.
have not tried on steamdeck et
The game is unstable and the methods for moderating the players are hurting the honest players.
The game is too unstable to clear 6 low priority matches without any crashes. I will try one more time to clear the penalty matches. And no matter if I succeed or not. I will stop playing until the game is fixed.
EDIT: So I didn't managed to clear the penalties. The game crashed 2 times in the match and the low priority matches rise from 6 to 14. I'm dome with this game. I don't feel comfortable playing it.
