Linux / Proton - Shaders take a long time and the game crashes after Valve logo startup

[michaelsulsenti]

The game launching on Linux with Proton processes Vulkan shaders for a very long time. Nearly 15-20mins. Sometimes it doesn't finish.

When launching the game, the Valve logo shows up and then the game crashes and exits.
