Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When trying to load a save in the game Monster Hunter World, it forces you to either join or create an online session to play. When I do this, it freezes on this screen immediately after pressing the button, stays for a few moments, then both the game AND the Steam client crash. It's believed that the game could be played offline because throughout the tutorial the game ran flawlessly, but once I was eligible to join other online players it put me into a session and crashed. The method to play the game offline however requires running Steam in offline mode, and I mostly got this game to play with friends. After searching on Google and ProtonDB, it doesn't seem like there have been other cases of this happening, so I'd like to know what about my setup could cause this.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Use a system running Linux Mint 21.1, AMD processor and GPU,
2. Launch Monster Hunter World with Steam Play (Proton Experimental)
3. Progress to the end of the tutorial or load a save to attempt to enter online play.
4. The game and Steam client will crash. It's unclear if the game or Steam crashes first, as if Steam closes, so will any game it's running.
