Symptoms whenever my friend tries to join my game the game will HARD freeze on my end he is using proton experimental and i was using proton 11 beta. ive tried TONS of different solutions such as backing up and deleting ALL save data and trying a fresh game install on both native linux version of the game and the windows version. the issue does not happen on the native linux version or versions of proton 10.4 or lower. game works fine on wine 10.4

Reproduction

switched back and forth between proton 11, 10.4 and native linux version of the game.
fresh start on my end,new world,character and game install.

Hello @XDM-Inc, 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/2845.
