Symptoms

1. intro video is very slow (<0.5 FPS)
2. game sometimes crashes

Reproduction

1. start the game
2. about crashes: so far only happened while crouching through the bushes, in some places it is guaranteed to crash, in some it is not. Can be reproduced with the following save:
   GAME-AUTOSAVE1.zip
   Load the save, exit the garage, turn left and crouch through all the bushes you see, starting from closest.

Note

Tested also on Ubuntu 18.04, kernel 4.15, nvidia 396.54 - the issues are there, too.

No source file or test is named. Start by reviewing steam-601430.log, the linked system report, and the supplied GAME-AUTOSAVE1.zip; reproduce the slow intro and bush-area crash using the listed steps on Proton 3.16-4 Beta. Done would require addressing the reported compatibility symptoms and verifying the reproduction case.
