I’ve been struggling with trying to find the right combination of settings for GD. At first, my issues were similar to others - random stuttering/FPS drops, for the most part. After many hours of testing multiple Proton versions and Windows 11, with other mods and base game, I’ve been able to mitigate the performance issues.
Not so much for the crashing, though. And the only consistent crashing is happening when playing this mod.
I just got done with a 3+ hour test of Reign of Terror, and it was flawless, both in Windows and Proton/Linux; same results with base game. In this mod, I can do a simple rift gate to another area and the game just freezes or gives me a black screen. Here are my hardware specs:

I was really hoping that switching back to Windows would be the savior, but sadly it did not help. Is anyone else having these issues? I’m on v94a - is there a newer/beta version I can test?
