Based on your description and the provided information, it looks like "In Verbis Virtus" is having compatibility issues under Proton with your setup. Here are some steps and considerations that might help resolve or mitigate these issues:
You've already tested with Proton 8.0-5 and 9.0-2. Sometimes using a different version of Proton can help. You might also want to try the latest Proton GE (GloriousEggroll) builds if you haven’t done so already. They often include patches and fixes for a wide range of issues.

Ensure that your Mesa drivers and kernel are up-to-date. While you've indicated that you've checked for updates, sometimes newer versions can resolve compatibility issues.
The Proton log file (steam-242840.log) you provided can give more insight into the crashes. Look for any specific error messages or warnings that might point to the underlying issue. If you’re unsure how to interpret the log, you might want to share specific error messages or consult with community forums.
If you have any specific error messages or log excerpts that stand out, feel free to share them, and I can help analyze those further.
Begone, ChatGPT.
On a more human note, analysis of the game's own log files show this almost definitely is an issue with a lack of support for speech recognition.
