Game crashes in recent proton versions due to nvngx_dlss.dll on Nvidia
steam-955050.log
disabling nvapi through PROTON_DISABLE_NVAPI=1 allows the game to run
steam-955050.log
It appears that DLSS 2.0, which this game ships, is affected by some weird incompatibility with an nvapi function implemented some time ago to support newer versions of DLSS (NvAPI_GetLogicalGPUFromPhysicalGPU). You should be able to work around it either by replacing the DLL with newer version (2.1+) or by exporting DXVK_NVAPI_DISABLE_ENTRYPOINTS=NvAPI_GetLogicalGPUFromPhysicalGPU, at least this way you won't lose DLSS completely.

Symptoms
Game seems to be running OOB with the DX11 option. Did not tried any of the DX12 options, they both seems to be using RTX tools/parts.
Reproduction
Install, hit play, choose dx11 option.
Note: It may be the least amount of fixmee in a proton log what ive seen in a while:
