Status:	Closed
Priority:	High
Added by:	gin_rx on June 16, '25
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	S5.09

Steps to Reproduce

1. While playing DRG and doing missions, everything is running fine. FPS, utilization, temp, and etc are all stable.
2. Throughout the mission it will randomly crash.
3. The screen goes black with the sounds still on.
4. Suddenly my deck oled goes on reboot.

Explanation

DRG keep crashing on my deck oled resulting on reboot. I’ve tried all possible fixes from trying different proton and verifying integrity. None works.
