Seems like an Nvidia driver crash, I can't reproduce the issue on AMD.
same thing but on RTX 3060 with driver 580.95.05, kernel 6.17.2, even tried with GE proton 10-20
got solution - launch game with directx12 to get it working
Launch Options %command% -dx12
but dx12 performance on linux and nvidia cards is pretty meh (at least for now)
%command% -dx12x1 2025-10
