Research direction

Start by reproducing the freeze when selecting “New Game” in Dawn with Proton 4.2-3 on the reported Manjaro system, then inspect steam-605610.log for the failure point. Done means the game reaches gameplay after selecting “New Game” without locking up; the payload does not identify a source file or test.
