Consistent Game Freeze at Start of Every Match (Linux)

As the title reads, I’ve been having a game freezes at the start of every single match. I play on the native Linux version, no proton/compatibility.

It sometimes happens during vehicle selection, but usually a few seconds after I’ve spawned in. Each freeze lasts several seconds and inputs during this time have no effect.

Otherwise, I don’t experience any freezes or stutters during the match after the initial freeze. Test drives also load and work fine.

In one of the newer replies on this older post, someone suggests it may be due to BattleEye: Game has suddenly started with heavy freezes / stuttering - #220 by Super_Eurobeat. However, the initial post is a year old and most replies seem to relate to various graphics settings.

Ultimately, I’m curious if any other players are experiencing similar issues or have any suggestions on a possible fix.

edit: I’ve now noticed its only during Ground RB, and not during Air RB. I don’t play arcade or simulator at all so I can’t comment on my experience there.

I have same issue (linux steam native version , AMD RX 6600XT)

I get random black screened for probably 1/20th of a second now about 1 time per every other game. My frame rates have dropped from 170-130 average to 140-110 average and and I get frame drops quite often now. Where for a few seconds, especially changing views in aircraft I’ll drop down to like 60-80fps and stutter.

Whatever they’ve done to the game lately is starting to put my 4080, 32gb ram and 13950hx processor laptop through the paces.

No differences on games like bg3 or space marine 2 at highest settings. So it’s specifically whatever has happened with this game lately.

btw you can alt tab and use the pc normally during the freezing.
the game will eventually crash if open for long enough.

Hello @sshane833, @claud_yu, @RavenGuardMarine, @Super_Eurobeat,

Could you all please submit a bug report on the Comunity Bug Reporting platform regarding the issues you are having?

https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder

Making sure to provide all required files and information.

Seems like someone’s already opened an issue that is the same problem I’m having: Community Bug Reporting System

They’re pointing the finger at BattleEye which seems likely given the gamemodes the freeze occurs in.

I’ve already marked on the report that I’m having the same issue.

Would it make sense to open a “duplicate” issue?
