I've been unsuccessful in getting the FitGirl and DODI repacks of Dark Souls Remastered to run on my CachyOS laptop. I've tried Lutris, Heroic, Faugus, and Bottles and I've tried various combinations of runtimes ranging from Proton, Wine, UWU, etc, but the best I can get is the game runs for about 30 seconds, then freezes.

The thing is, it works fine on my partner's computer. She has an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 where as I have an Intel Core Ultra X7 358H. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and the Lutris logs aren't very clear as to why the game is freezing. I've even installed the vulkan-intel drives.

EDIT: I downloaded The Witcher 3 as a standalone installer from my GoG library, proceeded to install it using the same method and it worked fine. None of my steam games have issues either, which includes mostly indies, but also Cyberpunk 2077. I got Black Myth Wukong to work using the same install method. I'm wondering if the Dark Souls Repack is just bad or too old for my hardware?

You have to share both setups processes to see where the halt occurs. How much RAM, cache, GPU, distro differences, etc..
besure to output these loggers

They are both APUs so there is no dGPU. Her system has 64GB of RAM from before the RAM crisis, mine only has 32GB. We're both on the latest version of CachyOS, though she uses Niri and I use KDE Plasma. I was using Niri but I abandoned it because I thought it was the culprit. Obviously I was wrong because it worked fine on her machine.

Lots of people run the game on KDE.
You need to run the loggers I listed you to see where the halt lies. This game does prefer 2+GB of dedicated VRAM.
