Research direction
Start with the attached steam-24860.log and linked system information report, then compare launches with GE-Proton 7, Proton 8, and Proton Experimental. Reproduce the freeze at the EA intro using the stated Battlefield 2 launch steps; the report does not identify a source entry point or define a concrete fix, so further investigation is needed before implementation.
