Proton Log: steam-1049890.txt

Symptoms

When starting the game via Steam Play it reaches the main menu but occupies all CPU cores, spending most of its cpu-time in kernel mode.
This doesn't happen when starting the game with wine 7.0-rc4 from the command line, but then sound doesn't work.

nobeta CPU load

Reproduction

The issue happens immediately when reaching the main menu. Lowering the graphics settings doesn't appear to make a difference.

Research direction

Start with the attached steam-1049890.txt Proton log and reproduce the report on the listed Arch Linux/Mesa system, launching Little Witch Nobeta through Steam Play until the main menu. Compare the CPU behavior with the stated wine 7.0-rc4 command-line run and use the log to guide investigation; done means reaching the menu without saturating all CPU cores and with working sound.
