Games Crashing
I am extremely new to linux(installed bazzite last night), so please bare with me.
Every time I try to launch a game, I can get to the "start" screen, sometimes I can get into the game itself then it freezes, other times it will just freeze at the start menu. Where would you start the troubleshooting process? I really want this to work, but I have no idea where to begin. Thanks in advance!

that depends, first which image are you using (
rpm-ostree status), then is this happening on every game or specific game, if specific then which gameI have only been able to try two games so far, God of war 2018 and hellblade.do I just type that command into the prompt and it will tell me which image I'm using? Please forgive me of my ignorance, this is a whole new ball game.
yes
command usually mean type it into terminalThanks so much. I'll check when I get home for lunch break

whats your hw?
Amd rx6400 Intel i5-11400 16 gigs of ram 500 gig WD ssd
seems fine, did you try any lighter game?
if you cant then try
PROTON_LOG=1 %command% as launch option
it should output something like 1593500.log in your home dirI will try a lighter game tonight, but I was able to boot up GoW, and access the graphics settings. They were all on ultra. So I dialed them back to original, added balanced fsr, and ran the game with playable frame rates for about 10 min with no issues. Obviously that's not a ton of time but enough to get me feeling better for the time being. Is that normal for a system to just "lock up" if it's overstressed like mine presumably was?
