@nightsky30 Can you please check that shader caching is turned on with your device? I found that the crash only happens when a transcoded_video.foz file is not in the shader cache directory of the game. With Proton 9.0-3, as well as experimental-9.0-20241111 it works well when there is a transcoded_video.foz.

That fixes it! Thank you!

Is it necessary to keep shader caching enabled? Can we somehow take advantage of the trans-coded videos without enabling shader caching, or are those two things tangentially related?
