I am on a fresh cachyos install. my specs are 5070ti, 9800x3d, 32gb 6000mhz ddr5 ram. When playing Cyberpunk 2077 after around 10-15 mins of gameplay the game will freeze. If I quickly press the windows key and click back into the game it will resume. However this is pointless, because the game will always inevitably freeze. This does not freeze my entire system, only the game. I can alt tab and kill the process no problem.

It also only seems to be this game, I ran spider-man miles morales for 2 hours no problem. I ran cyberpunk on windows just to see if it also had the issue. Windows was able to run the game for a few hours no problem. I wasn't able to find similar reports on protondb. Idk if this is just because of a recent patch or something is up with my system. Any help is appreciated! Thank you for your time!

EDIT: The issue seems to be solved! Thank you all for your help!! I was having this issue before switching to windows when I had screen lock/sleep mode off. I think the issue originally was an unstable ram profile that was fixed with a motherboard bios update. When I reinstalled cachyos I had sleep mode/lock screen active which led to the most recent crash causing me to post here.

For me, launching the game via GOG Galaxy in Wine caused issues. When I launched it standalone, everything was fine

Did you use the -nolauncher launch option?
