Symptoms

Game runs great in-game but will freeze when opening an in-game menu, e.g. pause menu.

Reproduction

Start the game through steam. Once in-game, press escape to open the pause menu, game freezes.

Fix

As seen in the log file, there was just a missing av decoding g-streamer plugin:

winegstreamer error: decodebin0: Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in.
winegstreamer error: decodebin0: ../src-gst_base/gst/playback/gstdecodebin2.c(4719): gst_decode_bin_expose ()     : /GstBin:bin0/GstDecodeBin:decodebin0:
no suitable plugins found:
Couldn't set avdec_h264-0 to PAUSEDCouldn't set avdec_valve_h264-0 to PAUSED

On arch linux I fixed this by installing gst-libav, but ideally an end-user shouldn't have to figure this out and the gst av libs should be a dependency of proton or something.
