Symptoms

Game crashes when starting "new game" from the main menu. Also if hitting any key while intro videos are playing the game pauses for 2 seconds and then proceeds playing the video (the videos are .bik (Bink Video)).

Note changing between Protons triggers a key reactivation.

Reproduction

launch the game > wait for the intro videos to play > select "new game" loading screen pops up and then the game crashes.

Start by reproducing the crash using the listed launch sequence, then review the attached steam-259170_proton-*.log files and system_info.txt. Done would require identifying and resolving the cause of the crash when selecting "new game" and assessing the reported delay when interacting with the Bink Video intro.
