Symptoms

When loading into the game, oftentimes the logo will jitter and flash. But once you join either a multiplayer server or singleplayer, you will oftentimes encounter a black screen upon entering the world or if you do get into the world, the game will freeze after a couple of minutes of playing if you: Open your inventory, Close your inventory, open the pause menu, try to ride a dino, die and attempt to respawn, or download after uploading your character.

All of these are different crashes i've run into while trying to troubleshoot the game over the last couple of days, but i don't seem to get an error message on proton 9.0-2. But i have noticed i tend to get this error in particular when running Proton Experimental if its of any help.

Assertion Failed!
File: /src-wine/dlls/winevulkan/loader_thunks.C

Expression: !status && "VkCreateSwapchainKHR"

This error code seems to happen when you attempt to open your inventory or the pause menu a few times.
