If you're looking forward to 7 Days to Die finally hitting the big 1.0 release, now you can try it a little early with an experimental Beta release. Still hard to believe it's finally launching after so many years in Early Access.

On Steam the developer announced the experimental 1.0 Beta which is available via the opt-in Steam Beta on the game, just look for "latest_experimental" in the drop-down box. As for what's coming in the 1.0 there's a ridiculous amount including a new HD Character System with more customization along with 1st and 3rd person animations, a new armour and clothing system, new animal models, a new challenges system, new vehicle models, updates to world generation and so much more.

Vulkan: brightness ok, FPS marginally better. Crashed and rebooted the system.

Not solving your performance issues, game is bad at it, period.
Reboot on other hand = problem on your system, hardware or software. No user space program is able to reboot your PC.(unless it uses appropriate OS calls, which 7days to die will not do)

nope. It's power/bios issue. If something tries to get too much *somehow*, then the system reboots.
It's supposed to just throttle, but, nope.

Civ6 does this often in Windows, but never in Proton.

(I'm wondering if something is driving the vid card too hard, but...)

Nevertheless, performance native linux, bad.
