Hello @DGauze, we're tracking issues with game run with Proton in the Proton issue tracker, so I've transferred this issue.
From https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/5150#issuecomment-1001006474, it might be interesting to test if disabling Steam's shader pre-caching has an effect.

I'm at a loss as to what to do, and any googling of this error online has left me empty handed as I tried ALL of their solutions to no success.
