Symptoms

Hard crashes in specific locations on multiple maps.

Deadfall Compound (Mammon's Gulch map) – approaching or aiming causes immediate crash.

Port Reeka Bridge (Bayou map) – crossing the small bridge to Alice Farm south (~20m) triggers crash.

Ash Creek pond north of the main house (De Salle map) – entering or aiming at the pond (~20x50–70m) triggers crash.

Crashes are 100% reproducible for at least 6 months.

Crashes are hard: task switching or desktop environment may become unresponsive; a full reboot is most off the time required.

Reproduction

Start the game with Proton (tested with Proton 10-GE and Bleeding Edge Experimental).

Go to any of the crash locations listed above. Deadfall is the worst case because you can spawn in Deadfall

Approach or aim at the area.

The game crashes immediately.

Issue occurs regardless of kernel version or Proton version.

Seems related to certain objects or visuals in the world, I would assume

Locations previously worked before about 11 months ago when the "new Map" Mammon's Gulch launched. They updated the Cryengine, and it worked initially. After the first Update since now, after multiple updates of the game, Deadfall never worked anymore.
