God of War
Fwiw, this seems to be a game issue that affects multiple people on Windows as well which has a stickied thread from devs in order to gather info.
https://steamcommunity.com/app/1593500/discussions/1/3202622816426786475/
I see, but this bug should still be observed even if they patch it or maybe its fixable in Proton.
Another issue on Vega cards as well. The game seems to cause VM_PROTECTION_FAULTS on amdgpu

This leads to the GPU being unresponsive until soft recovery and causes the game to freeze every 10-30 seconds.

They claim to have fixed the memory leak issue https://steamcommunity.com/games/1593500/announcements/detail/3128314055444329136
They claim to have fixed the memory leak issue steamcommunity.com/games/1593500/announcements/detail/3128314055444329136
I have seen that yesterday, but they released it way too late for me to try it out. I will report back in a few hours after some testing.
After three hours of playing I think its safe to say that the Memory Leak is fixed and can be marked as solved and maybe closed.
After loading into the save the RAM usage climbed 2,5 GiB more over a period of ~30min and was consistently stuck (in my case) at 14,4 and 14,9 GiB depending on the world.

I'm having this issue too with my AMD Vega 56 card.
Are you still able to reproduce issues with RADV? It looks like Vega might still be affected but what about other GPUs?
Can the crashing if you alt tab out of the game be fixed also? kinda annoying especially if you just need to fix or change something and come back to the game.
Here is my latest log from my Gaming PC where instead of crashing it would just get stuck on a black screen when I alt tab off the game which it shouldn't do
https://gist.github.com/coreybruce/d69e9b92cdf05696378110dd06e838dc
Log was either to big in file size or to long to upload it all but here is a piece of it
Log file: steam-1593500.zip
The memory leak still clearly happens on Steam Deck, as it will easily hard crash the entire Steam Deck after a while. Multiple reporte of this on ProtonDB too. Should not be Verified.
It hits about 14.2GB RAM then just dies.
This is with the default Proton 7.0-5.
I was able to replicate the exact situation as @LiamDawe above me here got to 14.2gb memory after less than 1 hour of play and steam deck froze hard! Seems like perhaps a memory leak leading to total system failure, my deck did not reboot on its own, it remained frozen in the state showing 6fps but none of the keys were functional after 5 minutes I hard powered off myself because the unit remained hot even though it was totally frozen. As a side note, this testing was done using Proton-Experimental (Bleeding Edge) as of the date of this posting fully updated and also on the Beta Steam Deck OS.
also took series of screenshots showing the memory climbing on mangohud.

Confirming also the hard crash and deck reboot issue also happens on bleeding edge experimental.
Same here, I had to hard reboot my steam deck. The game crashed 2 or 3 times since I start the game.
After applying the changes from https://github.com/CryoByte33/steam-deck-utilities, GoW no longer crashes every 45-60 minutes on Steam deck.
God of War doesnt start at my PC, it crashes directly after the Sony Screen, my Hardware is a Intel Core i5 10400F with a RX 5700xt. I have tried different distros and Proton versions. All have the same issue.
For reference a quick test on my PC: first start attempt nothing appeared to happen, had to wait until fossilize_replay process finished, after that the game started.
After the Sony logo a Playstation Studio(?) screen appears.

Try clearing the compatdata folder for the game and make sure to use the latest proton stable 8.0-2

Hi @kisak-valve
Set the Soundserver to Alsa via protontricks fix my issue, thank you. :)

Symptoms
Even if atmospherics in the graphics menu are set to anything other than low (including presets) the game will still use the low version. If a custom setting is used the game will always reset atmospherics to low.
Reproduction
Always occours. Can't find an instance where it doesn't.

This still happen on the latest Proton version.
Don't fully work with 3840 x 2560 (3:2) 4K+ Huawei Mateview 28 monitor
System Information
- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800
- Video driver version: Mesa 25.2.8-0ubuntu0.24.04.1

- Link to full system information report as Gist: https://gist.github.com/DanielYang59/7e6ccffb8986af7cebf3126c75b921e0

[!NOTE]
I could help testing other proton versions, let me know if this would be helpful.
Symptoms
I have a Huawei Mateview 28 which has a weird 3:2 ratio at 3840 * 2560 @ 60Hz (via DP cable). I noticed some games don't fully work in "full screen", more details below.
- God of War (1593500):
- Fullscreen mode: didn't find this option
- Boardless mode: locked resolution at "3840 x 2560" but not really full screen, just taller than 4K with borader to the top/bottom
- Windowed mode: resolution capped (maybe kind of normal depending on the size available for that window?)

Compatibility Report
System Information
I confirm:
steam-1593500.zip
Note: The log file is from a different run where the slide-show happened after ~2,5h and the RAM climbed to a high of 28,7 GiB.
Symptoms
Memory Leak
System in idle before the I start the game.
System after I pressed "continue" and loaded into the world.
System when the slide-show started, about 1,5h in.
Note: It was right after a cutscene and in that cutscene the RAM climbed above 24GiB
When the RAM consumption reaches an all time high (not necessarily all the RAM available) it goes down a little and the slide-show begins.
Reproduction
Playing for around two hours, happens every single time. Depending on how many cutscenes someone encounters in a session it can happen sooner or later.
