Description

The game opens fine and I can do anything around the menu screen/options. Even when you start the game I can see a full 60FPS with proton experimental. (Doesn't work with Proton 7.0)

The thing is that the game randomly freezes after going through a "cutscene" of a deer I believe at the start. I don't know if it's a frame freeze or not because I keep hearing steps/audio.

Overall I would dare say it will probably work fine with proton experimental until completion it just that it has those weird random freezes.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw Demo freeze with Proton Experimental and Proton 7.0, focusing on the deer cutscene near the beginning. Check whether the game remains responsive while audio continues, and document a reliable reproduction or confirm that the issue is resolved.
