  • I assume you’re talking about Diablo 4 (please actually type out the game, it makes it easier for people to help and makes it easier for people with issues to find solutions)

    Is there a crash log?

    Looking at https://www.protondb.com/app/2344520, there’s a couple things suggested:

    Using proton ge instead of normal proton

    Install via lutris instead of steam.

    Use PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 %command% as the launch options. This tricks the game into thinking you have an amd gpu and disables nvdia specific optimizations that could maybe cause issues.

    %command% -adapter 1 might switch to the gpu if you’re on a laptop with integrated and dedicated graphics.

    Oh yeah, definitely but those tend to be different attacks than would target random consumer computers.

    Being open source definitely plays a role in Linux security, but it’s minor compared to stuff like market share, user privilege, package management vs just installing random exes, different distros using different packaging systems.



  • There’s the Intel management engine and the amd platform security processor. Both manage low level tasks like booting, and have access to network data. Amds psp is known to have unrestricted access to user memory.

    There have been security vulnerabilities that would grant access to sensitive data exploiting both systems if not patched.

    As for a backdoor, there’s no evidence but I wouldn’t be surprised. The NSA has programs to insert backdoors into consumer products and these seem like the perfect place to do it. But again, there’s no evidence either chip is part of these programs.
