War Thunder is freezing in fullscreen mode

Technical Issues and Assistance Games
#1

As title says, whe I run War Thunder in full screen mode 1920x1080, whole system is freezing. I can jump to tty and reboot it only. When I run the game in windowed mode, no matter the resolution, it runs ok. I've read on official Gajin forum that I should switch to fullscreen after game is on but it doesn't work. Game still crashes. It happens only on Arch based distros. Other work fine.

Edit: I've found this but it doesn't say anything new...

"War Thunder" freezes when I start it in Full Screen Mode

Can you provide some logs ?

#3

Of course. Let me know which one would you like

#4

OK - let´s begin with dmesg (time index, when the computer freezes).

#5

Ok, I found workaround on Gaijin forum:
Put this in launch options:
env LD_PRELOAD="" %command%
It disables Steam overlay but game works as should

Hi. In what Launch Options do I type this in? In the War Thunder Loader?
