Symptoms

Forest Titan Crash

When trying to tame the Forest Titan on Exinction the game crashes, when the forest titan does a certain attack. This crash appears to happen on all proton versions. However this is not a Game bug as this works perfectly fine on Windows. (The bug is also mentioned here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ARK/comments/1ppiil0/game_survival_evolved_keeps_crashing_every_time/)

Extreme low fps when the Meteor Shower event occurs on Extinction

This is not a crash but whenever the Meteor Shower event takes place, the game gets very laggy it doesnt crash but the lag remains until the Meteor Shower is over. (Problem is also mentioned here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/346110/discussions/0/759555096795248549/)

Both of these issues happen on both main versions of the Game pre-aquatica and aquatica.
