Does it still freeze with Wayland disabled in the bottle preferences? Please also name one affected game and the exact runner version. When it works outside Bottles, is that the same game, prefix and runner?

@mirkobrombin Moonlight freeze without Wayland enabled in Bottle preferences, soda-11.0-10 runner.
The game was Infinity Blade 3 PC Port. Same game freeze with Bottles Soda runner and runs with Proton-CachyOS without Bottles.
After a few hours, I rebooted my PC, the freeze with Bottles doesn't happen anymore and no idea why.
