Hello @curieos, your symptoms read like there might be a video driver issue. It might be interesting to test a newer mesa version from a PPA like oibaf or kisak-mesa. Also, if possible, it would be interesting to know if you are able to SSH into the system after the freeze and see if a system log or dmesg has any hints, then share your findings here and with your video driver vendor.
Oh, I should've mentioned the freeze is temporary. It doesn't last more than 10 seconds normally, but it's a whole system freeze. I'll try updating the drivers.
Despite installing the PPA and running an update, it doesn't seem to want to install the newer version. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong..
Nevermind, found a solution to this. The Pop_OS PPA has a higher priority, and so it goes with the mesa drivers from that instead of the PPA I added for newer drivers. Found a reddit thread if anyone finds this in the future.
Unfortunately it is still crashing on kisak-mesa.
Just in case it was some jank with my install, I refreshed my install, and even updated to Pop!_OS 22.04, and it still freezes and crashes.
Dmesg log:

I tried again with the oibaf PPA, I think it's fine now? It didn't freeze at all this last run, though it got cut short.
Nevermind, it still freezes on the newer Mesa. Do I need to say something elsewhere to get this fixed?
Nothing extracted yet.
Compatibility Report
System Information
I confirm:
Symptoms
Occasional system freezes and game crashes. Reliably happens during fights, not every system freeze causes a game crash.
Reproduction
I didn't do anything special, I just started the game and played it. After a bit it started having issues. Attached is my log.
