Hangs and crashes, Campaign, Proton Experimental, App ID 1069660, Build ID 11654920

Once every 3-4 times the game will hang on "Loading World" on Proton Experimental (the steam default for compatibility mode).
(Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Nvidia 3090 RTX) 

Initial situation: Install game on Proton Experimental. Load a reasonably far progressed campaign save (say 1918 or so).

To Replicate: Run game as per initial situation:   Switch back and forth between battle to world, or switch back and forth from ship design screen. Normal Loading World takes << 1minute, but after a couple of switches back and forth the game will appear to hang.

Game also hangs if alt-tabbed out, or if screen-saver comes on:

To replicate: Run game as per initial situation:   Alt-Tab out,  or set screen saver to come on after a suitably short period (say 1 minute). On switching back, Sound may continue to play, but screen will either no longer update or be black.

I've forced steam - proton to 8.0-2 to see if that helps any. So far,  I'm still getting occasional hangs when the game enters battle.

Forcing proton to 8.0-2 does not seem to solve the issues I'm seeing.

Proton 7.0-6 does not seem to solve the issues I'm seeing
I'm currently testing with proton 6.3-8 which is reported as "perfect" in protondb, nevertheless I do sometimes still see crashes on "Loading World"

I'm wondering if it's nothing to do with proton now. Is there a way to get a campaign save to you? (the list of accepted file types for the forum doesn't seem to cover it?)  Possibly it might  crash for you too.

Simplifying the process for CK apps could definitely make things smoother for everyone involved. It's all about finding ways to streamline procedures, right? Speaking of streamlining, I stumbled upon some legit earning apps while exploring ways to make the most out of my free time. Hopefully, your suggestion gets some traction and makes the process even better for everyone.
