Same issue here. Proton 5.13-4. -onethread is needed as a launch option , otherwise game crashes with Fatal Error warning.

Works out of the box with Proton 6.3-4, no additional launch options required. Completed base game (no DLC) without any issues.

The game works now for me now too without needing any launch options, so I'm closing this issue :tada:
