Having issues with Talos Principle 2, got any ideas? (sh.itjust.works)

Hello, Today I tried to run talos principle 2, but it keeps freezing and eventually crashes during the starting loading screen.

This is one of the few times linux gaming has failed on me recently, so I am quite frustrated. ProtonDB gives it a fairly good rating, so I wonder if some part of my setup is wrong or something.

For distro, I am running Pop OS, and installed it in non-home partition. Could that cause issues?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Strange behavior is observed. Once I skip the starting loading sequence (the one with e.g. unreal logo), it works flawlessly. I wonder what is happening while they show me corp logos.

Have you tried Proton GE yet? In Chrono Trigger, everything works until you get to a cutscene and then it crashes on standard Proton, I think there's a codec issue or something caused by the video. Could be something like that.

Pardon my ignorance, but how do I install and use ProtonGE?

The easiest way is to install protonup-qt, it's a graphical frontend to manage proton versions.

Once it's installed it should be in the Steam compatibility drop-down.
