Can you post the full Proton log?
I strongly doubt that any of the commits in question are even capable of introducing a race condition, but I wouldn't be surprised if the game code had a bunch of those. nvm just realized that the commit range you mentioned was on two different branches, so it's well over 300 commits in between.
I can't seem to run the game at all, all I'm getting is a black screen after the initial K-T logo where presumably a video is supposed to be playing, but it's impossible to progress past that. Using Proton-Experimental.
Edit: Nevermind, game didn't recognize my controller for some reason and keyboard/mouse input doesn't seem to exist in this game. God I already hate this.
Edit 2: I still don't really understand how I'm supposed to get in game. Selecting Story Mode from the menu only gives me another black screen, and when I randomly mash buttons on my controller I can only go back to the title screen. The other menus are all broken too, they briefly show up for a few frames but then I instantly get thrown back to the main menu. Only the Duel Mode menu works.
TL;DR game is completely unusable for me, but I haven't seen any reproducible crash yet, regardless of DXVK builds.
Managed to get this to work on my Deck, the above commit should fix this. You were spot-on, it's a race condition.

Whenever I try to run Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate Definitive Edition on my Steam Deck, the game crashes once it gets to the Preparation screen after clicking on Story Mode. It closes the game entirely. When I test it in Desktop Mode, it works. This appears to be a regression as it worked recently. I narrowed it down to be working with DXVK commit 73b27a7eab and crashing as of commit ea76bfd019. This was by comparing the DXVK included with experimental-bleeding-edge-7.0-21099-20220728-pf97544-wf05d1d-d73b27a-vd00d03 and experimental-bleeding-edge-7.0-21137-20220729-pf97544-wf05d1d-dea76bf-vd00d03 respectively. It appears to be a race condition as it is "fixed" with heavy Proton logging.
You can quickly skip all the cutscenes by pressing Start and selecting Skip. It doesn't change anything if you let them play or skip them.
