Platform: Steam (Linux, Ubuntu 24, Proton)
Game version: 2026.57.20.11631
Wwise SDK version: 2023.1.14 Build 8770

Summary:
MTGA freezes randomly during matches after 5–10 minutes of gameplay. The game window becomes unresponsive but the desktop remains fully usable. The game process must be killed manually to recover.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch MTGA via Steam on Linux (tested with Proton Experimental, Proton 9.0-4, and GE-Proton)
2. Enter any match
3. Play for 5–10 minutes
4. Game window freezes — no crash dialog, no error message

Technical findings:
Proton logs consistently show the following sequence before every freeze:
- "AK Error: Voice Starvation" (Wwise audio engine)
- "AK Message: Audio thread resumed, audio restarts"
- "AK Error: Unknown/Dead game object ID used in function SetPosition"

Crash dumps (located in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\Wizards Of The Coast\MTGA\BacktraceDatabase\crashpad\reports) contain:
- ANRException: Blocked thread detected

This indicates the Wwise audio thread crashes, attempts to restart, fails to recover cleanly, and the resulting dead audio objects block the main Unity thread indefinitely.

The issue occurs regardless of Proton version, GPU settings, or in-game volume settings. It does not occur on Windows.

Requested fix:
Please investigate Wwise audio thread stability on Linux/Wine, or add a timeout/recovery mechanism so that a failed audio thread does not permanently block the main thread.
