Changed the graphic settings from high to medium let me play a few seconds longer, but it still crashes, so it's not related to this particular puzzle.
Hello @AdamSzopa, can you check ulimit -Hn and confirm that it is a high value and not 4096.

Windows has seen problems with witness64_d3d11.exe as well so it might be a game related problem although it could be Proton/DXVK does something the game doesn't like.

The solution(s) in linked thread possibly not applicable here.
@kisak-valve my FD limit is 1048576
I also should add that I played the game some months back on the same system but using "Play On Linux" (i think that was before DXVK) and while there were some graphic issues, there were no crashes
Does it work with PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1?
@doitsujin it seems to work with PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 . It didn't crash yet after some time of playing, but I believe my FPS went down.
Still works nicely for me on 3-7-6 and 3-7-7 Beta on my RX Vega 56, so it must be driver/gpu/system specific?
@glubsy https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/344#issuecomment-418399957 has a system closest to yours that I've seen testing The Witness on here and didn't mention any crashes once they got up and running.
I managed to finish the whole game with PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1.
In this game, rendering issues could prevent you from finishing the game, since some puzzle rely on reflection, shadows, light etc.
I'm happy to report that no game breaking render issues were found. The performance was no so great, but playable for a puzzle game (could sometimes dip below 20 on my setup).
I am having some game-breaking rendering issues; see here: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/issues/724
Hello @Nadrieril, if you're feeling adventurous, build mesa git with https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/50969/. The game is most likely needs this vulkan extension.
I'm pretty sure this title doesn't need the Transform Feedback patches. I personally haven't experienced this bug and I've completed this puzzle. The difference being I'm running an RX Vega with RADV.
The game runs well for me on Manjaro 4.14.90-1-MANJARO, Nvidia GTX 1050 driver version 415.25, with 2 exceptions:
I've tested multiple Proton releases including 3.16-6, 3.16-4, 3.7-8)
These issues don't happen with PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1, but the performance suffers a lot.
I'll try and get some logs for the crashes.
/This issue appears to be pretty dead, but I have done a little bit of testing and found some results and a tentative workaround.
It appears that the crashes happen most frequently at specific locations, spots between areas. I tried walking very slowly and stopping for long periods (10-30 secs) and I managed to avoid a crash that otherwise was completely reproducible. I wouldn't know, but I would guess that there's some sort of race condition at play.
As a result, at present, I believe I'll be able to finish my playthrough on Linux.

I don't get the crashes I mentioned a few years ago, with Proton 5.13-6 and a slightly better GPU, the GTX 1070. What are your specs @Jaegrqualm?
@ceLoFaN
What are your specs @Jaegrqualm?
Sorry for the late reply, but I've been trying to investigate further. I'm running (what should be a current) Proton Experimental with an i5-8265U and Intel UHD 620, PCIE NVME storage.
the bottom of the mountain room, stepping onto or off of the little staircase.
(*sorry, couldn't figue out spoilers)
It still does seem to be some sort of loading bug.
Update, finished the game, aaaaaand it crashed during the ending sequence. Isn't that lovely.
Lovely indeed. I read somewhere that the HD620 can only use about 1.7GB of RAM which is pretty close to my GTX 1050. Have you tried lower graphical settings btw?
I've had it on low settings and dynamic resolution the whole time, only bumping up shadows to see if it would help for some puzzles.
I ended up watching a youtube video of the ending, and noticed that, even in windows, it looks like there's a lot of chugging in the exact same spots that I was having crashes. So it looks like the issue is still there in windows, it just isn't as deadly.
Update, it appears that something changed in proton experimental. I forgot to report it at the time, so this was a month or two ago that I was playing this, but it appears that the game is appropriately stuttery and doesn't crash while doing so. So, all good on my end. The game appears to be fully functional.

Crashing after a few seconds into the game
Reproduction
I have a save game just before solving a overworld puzzle, which generates some particles, some lag and then a immediate crash.
