Does anyone know why OW2 may be crashing on Arch? I thought it was just me, but I went to protondb and saw more reports. The only solutions I found from historical crashing non-Arch related was for nVidia users, but I'm on AMD.

Any clue why it may be? And, more importantly, what the solution may be?

It crashes shortly after starting if that helps.

i had this same problem, turning on resizable BAR seems to have fixed it.

Can confirm, my WoW crashing problem is gone since doing so. At least, I changed two settings, not just the one mentioned (see below).

I had updated my BIOS version recently, and the ‘Above 4G Decoding’ and ‘Resizable BAR Support’ was turned off, instead of inheriting the previous BIOS version setting of them being turned on previously.

It's a BIOS thing and it worked! Thank you! :3
