Minecraft freezes after a while in background

General system Applications

I have a OBS setup for Minecraft speedrunning, whenever I have to adjust my OBS settings and leave Minecraft in the background for a while (1min is enough), I go back and find it freezes, having to force close it each time is so frustrating.

I use Nitro Launcher (CLI edition), I thought it might be a high RAM usage issue, but whether I give Minecraft 2GB/4GB/6GB/8GB of RAM, the problem is as always.

Try opening the launcher with then ENV set command line
MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=zink

Hi AceFour,
Thank you for replying! I tried the ENV but was confused, so I looked online and found how to force use zink, but after more research afaik you can’t force OpenGL backend on a proprietary NVIDIA driver, so mesa/zink is incompatible? Correct me if I’m wrong I was so confused.
Best Regards

Ahh, didn’t realize you had Nvidia
