Symptoms

The game crashes at a certain point/scene. I couldn't make the game run with the AMDGPU-PRO drivers, so I can't be sure if this is only a RADV issue.

UPDATE: Couldn't get it to run with AMDVLK too. I can only start the game with RADV, the game won't even launch with other drivers.

Reproduction

1. Get to the Prison Scape scene;
2. After Leo pull Vincent up the cable, there is a cutscene;
3. Both jump through a roof glass, upon getting up the game hangs and green artifacts appear on the screen after a few seconds.

Start by reviewing steam-1222700.log and reproducing the Prison Scape sequence with the listed Proton versions and RADV. Compare the behavior across the reported AMD drivers and determine whether the hang and green artifacts are driver-specific. Done means the scene no longer hangs and the result is verified with a relevant regression test or compatibility check.
