That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.
For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

--launcher-skipshould fix it, according to ProtonDB.I looked on protondb of course. The issue isn't the launcher, it does boot into the menu and freezes once I load a game.
Ok, then it's probably some kind of system resource setting or something. I had an issue with Hogwarts Legacy freezing after an hour or two, and it was fixed by this setting change. Maybe that or a similar tweak is all you need. Or maybe just a GPU driver update.
I haven't tried that game, but I will say most of the games I've tried work fine without any tweaks.
I love that you tried to help though. Thanks anyway.
I'm happy to. If you ever want to give it another try, there are tons of there willing to help as well.
