steam-1593500.zip
Note: The log file is from a different run where the slide-show happened after ~2,5h and the RAM climbed to a high of 28,7 GiB.

Symptoms

Memory Leak
System in idle before the I start the game.

System after I pressed "continue" and loaded into the world.

System when the slide-show started, about 1,5h in.
Note: It was right after a cutscene and in that cutscene the RAM climbed above 24GiB

When the RAM consumption reaches an all time high (not necessarily all the RAM available) it goes down a little and the slide-show begins.

Reproduction

Playing for around two hours, happens every single time. Depending on how many cutscenes someone encounters in a session it can happen sooner or later.

No repository file or test is identified. Start by reviewing the attached steam-1593500.zip log and the linked system report, then reproduce God of War (1593500) with Proton Experimental 6.3-20220119 for around two hours; done means isolating a Proton-side cause for the memory growth and slideshow or documenting that none is found.
