Cities Skylines causes system to be unresponsive and crash, Deck

Hello! I've installed Cities Skylines and am trying to start a new game, but every time I do it loads ~75% and causes my deck to become completely unresponsive and require a hard reset. Mods disabled, but when I did have a loading screen mod enabled the deck would instead crash to what looked like text mode. Files checked, clean install.

What's your memory usage like before this crash? Possible it's an OOM situation

It's close to full. I did change the UMA buffer back down from 4g to 2g for testing, the loading screen mod doesn't indicate that it's hitting the limit. If I enable swap and want to go back to zram, is that something the portal app will do?

I would lower that back to 1GB (default) and then try enabling legacy memory in Bazzite portal and restarting Yep You're correct

Cool, I'll test it. Can swap and zram both be enabled? Hm, still crashing.

They can, but I would turn z-ram off for your first test

Swap is on, UMA back to 1g. Crashes on a simulation thread per the loading screen mod

@ggppjj new version may solve your issue here Mesa got a memory leak fix for some titles

Excellent, I'll give it a try in a few hours. Here's hoping! Thanks for letting me know. It didn't work (even after being fully up-to-date as of now), but here's something wild: it works with ProtonGE I halfway think this might be a vanilla issue with no modded anything, although I'm not currently interested enough in formatting the deck back to stock to find out
