Symptoms && Reproduction

Playing Mad Max with Proton as suggested in ProtonDB (the native version from Feral has worse performance, no 144 Hz, etc.). Everything is fine, 140+ fps.
Except these weird crashes.

It crashes if I start the game and drive from a stronghold to any "distant" point. Always in the same place.
For example:

If I go somewhere near the stronghold first, complete some activities nearby, then later everything is fine and I can drive anywhere. So it crashes only if I go too far away too quickly after loading the game :D

In Proton log I found only this at the end:
