Couldn't add PROTON_LOG since it was 23.5GB

Symptoms

The game appears at first to be working, but crashes after ~1h of gameplay. Sometimes a bit earlier sometimes a bit later. Always the same - the game completely freezes up and only way to recover is to force quit the process.

I'm playing on steam flatpak version but apparently it's exactly the same issue on normal steam version as well.

I've tried many different (earlier versions) of Proton as well, same result.

Reproduction

Install Apex Legends on Steam (either normal or flatpak steam)
Force compatibility of Proton
Start game - (optional skip shader render)
Play for 1-2 matches or ~1h and game freeze and crash.
