Research direction

Start with the reported SteamOS 3.8.11 environment and reproduce the freeze using the four listed steps with Forza Horizon 5 on the Lenovo Legion Go S. Check whether the full-device freeze remains after trying the reported Proton versions, beta versions, graphics changes, and compatdata or shadercache deletion; done means the game no longer freezes the system during the continue-screen load.

Describe what you expected should happen and what did happen.

I'm on a SteamOS Lenovo Legion Go S. I bought Forza Horizon 5 a few months ago and it was working flawlessly until 3.8.10. I have tried different proton versions, going to beta versions, changing graphics, etc. The only thing that temporarily worked was deleting the compatdata and shadercache for this game. This only worked once, and then broke again after adjusting graphics on this game. The game always freezes after clicking continue on the intro screen and when it is loading up graphical stuff. When I mean freezes, it actually freezes the ENTIRE device, including hearing the fans turn off. If I open Steam Overlay when frozen, the screen goes black and doesn't turn back on. The only way to get out of this is to force shut down the ENTIRE system. Please fix this.

Steps for reproducing this issue:
  1. Launch Forza Horizon 5 on SteamOS
  2. Sign in to Xbox
  3. Click continue on the main screen
  4. The entire system freezes during that load screen.
