Since this game requires a PSN login, using i3wm will cause a black unresponsive screen. To resolve this, I temporarily installed GNOME and launched the game, allowing it to open a Firefox window where I could log into PSN. After successfully logging in, I removed GNOME, and now the game runs perfectly on i3wm.

I also noticed a large number of kernel_split_lock messages in dmesg. To address this, I experimented with disabling split lock detection via kernel options. After doing so, I observed a significant improvement in the game's performance—it now runs incredibly smooth.
