Problem
The game generally works well, but there are unexpected crashes and freezes. I especially noticed that when changing a quest to be completed in the game or its sub-quest, the game can often freeze completely.

While making this log, the game froze only for a moment, but it sometimes happens that during longer gameplay and changing quests, the game freezes completely. It is random, sometimes a slight freeze, sometimes nothing, and sometimes a complete freeze.

Hello @Gacel0l, we're using one issue report per unofficially supported game title, so I've gone ahead and transferred this issue report to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/607#issuecomment-3829794504.
