I have a fresh install of linux mint 21.2 cinnamon edition that does not have any weird configurations (just the proprietary NVIDIA driver). I am experiencing constant freezes when playing hoi4 but have also experienced one when using firefox. What I have noticed until now is that the issue is reproduced always when playing the game 100% of the time. The firefox one was never experienced again and was of minor severity as it didn't freeze the session entirely just the browser. On the other hand the game related ones completely made the system unresponsive. While the screen was completely frozen the only thing still responsive was the mouse and the sound coming from the spotify client in the background. I was unable though to alt-tab, ctrl-alt-del or try any other combination successfully and had to force shutdown the system via the power button.

2. I need the newer kernel for better proton compatibility and features.
Ow and the game hoi4 is native I do not run it under proton just a quick disclaimer.
I have been using linux for almost a decade now and have never encountered this problem before which is why I came to seek support.
Thanks in advance!
