Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash with Warhammer 40,000: Deathwatch using the listed Display settings steps, then inspect the attached steam-394450.log for the failure during resolution or window-mode changes. Done means changing resolution and switching between windowed and fullscreen no longer crashes under the reported Proton setup.
