Hello @Lenart12, in the future, it's probably less hassle to throw large logs into an archive and drag and drop the compressed log into the comment box.

A member on the reddit community found a fix to the problem:

Proton doesn't include the Windows Media Foundation libraries required to play the V13 intro video. There have been recent fixes upstream that may address this, but for now you can use this workaround. If the game is crashing after the splash screen, simply rename the "Movies" directory and it should launch. It's in your steam library directory. The default for me is here:

$HOME/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Squad - Public Testing/SquadUAT/Content/Movies

After this, If it still crashes before it gets to the main menu, try putting this in your launch options (Right click -> Properties in Steam):

PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command%

This allowed the game to start and I was able to remove it after messing around with the graphics settings. Other than this the game still seems to work fine on Linux. I tested on Debian Buster with proton 4.2-3.
