What GPU and drivers are you running?
Anything in Protondb? Seems like a stable game there, but maybe someone documented a similar problem. https://www.protondb.com/app/1259420

Thank you!
I actually did check ProtonDB too and was surprised to see that as well. I searched for people with issues and didn’t find any in just a quick skim. But I planned to come back and filter for specific issues after checking logs.
My GPU is a RTX 4080 Super. The drivers are the stock drivers that come with CachyOS. I never installed any drivers for my GPU or any of my components, for that matter.
The latest (proprietary) NVIDIA driver is nvidia-580. I am not familiar with CachyOS, but it may be defaulting to the FOSS NVIDIA driver, Nouveau, which I personally have had stability issues with.
You can check the driver with the command lshw -c video or nvidia-smi
Another thing you can do is activate logging of Proton with the the launch option PROTON_LOG=1 %command% in Steam. This will dump a file into your home folder.
Thank you. It looks like according to nvidia-smi, I am running the proprietary driver and it is 580.95.05
Launch the game from terminal so you have any error output and/or exit codes
