Installed Dota 2 via Steam. I log in without using Proton and so on. (rendered the shaders) it works, but after a couple of minutes everything just freezes along with the system.

Have you checked the issue list:

Steam for Linux requires the following:

1 GHz Pentium 4 or AMD Opteron with:
- x86-64 (AMD64) instruction set
- CMPXCHG16B instruction support (cx16 in /proc/cpuinfo flags)
- SSE3 instruction support (pni in /proc/cpuinfo flags)
512 megabytes of RAM and 5 gigabytes of hard drive space, or better
Internet connection (Cable/DSL speeds recommended)
Latest Manjaro, fully updated
64-bit (x86-64, AMD64) Linux kernel
64-bit (x86-64, AMD64) and 32-bit (i386, IA32) graphics drivers and glibc
Latest graphics driver
NVidia driver support - For recent cards (e.g. series 8), you will need to install 310.x. For older cards, driver 304.x supports the NVidia 6 and 7 GPU series. To access these drivers, first update your cache and then install the specific driver you need from the list in Additional Drivers.
AMD and Intel driver support - you will need to use the latest Mesa drivers, Mesa 9 or later. These should be preinstalled

#### Your system information * System information from steam (`Steam` -> `Hel…p` -> `System Information`) in a gist: [System Information](https://gist.github.com/astyd256/734b745eb7661ec85211ed51e94e0011) * Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes] * Are you using the latest stable video driver available for your system? [Yes] * Have you verified the game files?: [Yes] #### Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible: Dota 2 completly freezes after random time. The only thing I can do is move my crusor, changing TTY doesn't work, all alt+tabs, ctrl+alt+del, e.t.c. doesn't work. The only solution is to use `REISUB`. Here is a much more full info about my system in needed [System Information from inxi](https://gist.github.com/astyd256/b3d8554ba32d810bc838ae7d42bd4a94). If I try to launch Dota through Proton layer it crashes almost instantly in the main menu. #### Steps for reproducing this issue: 1. Install Manjaro 2. Install Dota 2 3. Launch game 4. Dota never work out of box on my laptop #### Addtitional notes I want to draw attention that I'm using laptop with hybrid graphics intel + NVIDIA and I read about lots of problems with that setup. Things I tried: Changing Nvidia drivers, changing Kernels, changing lots of launch parameters trying everything from Proton.db, (If anybody intersting here's mine right now `-novid -input_button_code_is_scan_code -map_enable_background_maps 0 -autoconfig -vulkan_disable_graphics_pipeline_library`) reinstalling everything, launching via proton steam and port proton, launching via steam CLI. Things I will try: Install Optimus. I play lots of games on Manjaro via native (i.e. Team Fortress 2) or with proton layer(port proton project) even able to play games from Epic store. But Dota was always kinda special for me in a way. Despite it always been _native_ it never work for me out of the box. There was always these issues with it as long as I used Manjaro. Previously I did fix it either via launch options or kernel changes or fiddling around long enough. But I spent whole day looking for solutions and never succeed, going to this place was one of my last resort. Really hoping for some help or workaround or advice.
