Mostly noticed the game seems to have a page fault at the end of the log too.

"Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x00000008 in 32-bit code"

Checking protondb, someone else had a similar crash, but on 0x00000010 instead

Still occurring with Experimental using wine 9.0

Game still crashes as of latest Experimental, looking at the section that was highlighted by Kisak, I'm guessing this is an FNA problem.

@kisak-valve Actually I just ran a new proton log to check and I can't seem to find that line of interest you mentioned anymore. I did find this fatal exception which I'm guessing is the problem.

Great news, game seems to mostly work now, outside of the level select TV briefings on top right being test bars, game works fine
