Symptoms

Game hard crashes to a point where it shows last frame(of whatever you had loaded in the TAB menu) and to close it regardless of windowed, fullscreen or borderless you have to switch to the steam launcher and force stop the game

Reproduction

1. Install RAGE 2 with any of the 3 proton versions I mentioned above
2. Run the game
3. Open TAB menu, this crash seems to occur a lot when in the wilderness, or mission zones

Additional Notes

I have also attempted using protontricks, but to no change, then I tried using Virtual Desktop with the aid of WineCFG* to enable it, the frequency of the crashes dropped marginally however

*Along with the marginal change it gave it also worsened the preformance and added audio tearing in fullscreen mode, with windowed and borderless showed better results, those being much less audio tearing and better preformance along with decreasing the frequency of the crashes
