Same failure on Gentoo, kernel 6.18.54, Ryzen 7 7700, RTX 4070 Ti, NVIDIA 615.78.08, DW-Proton 11.0-14.
Repeated crashes with WINE_ENABLE_TIMEOUT_FIX=1 already enabled:
ZwLoadDriver failed to create driver ... HoYoProtect: c0000355
initDriver Failed: Error [4,643,0].
Dumps show MHYPBase.dll access violations writing to 0x1000
One launch succeeded after adding tracing:
PROTON_LOG=1 WINEDEBUG=+timestamp,+pid,+tid,+seh,+loaddll,+winsock WINE_ENABLE_TIMEOUT_FIX=1 %command%
and in the logs HACK: WSACreateEvent adjusted curl timeout to 5000ms in memory
so is it timing issue?
Hello @vertex416, @kyceblake, we're using one issue report per unofficially supported game title, so I've gone ahead and transferred this issue report to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/9883#issuecomment-6317340462.

Game worked on this setup before today's update ([game version]). After
updating, the game closes right after pressing Start in HoYoPlay.
