Specific game crashes after switch from NVidia to AMD

Dear Forum

I recently swapped an old NVidia card for a new AMD card. Things are going great after the switch except for one game.

Game: Circuit Superstars (Unity game via Steam)
The game runs flawlessly until it crashes me back to the desktop without any warning. Sometimes after seconds, sometimes after hours. It never crashed with my old NVidia card since 2021.

I tried various Proton versions and switched back to X.org to make sure it has nothing to do with Wayland which I started using concurrently with the AMD card. Nothing changes the behaviour. Other games run just fine, including more graphically taxing titles.

What could be the reason, what outputs could be helpful to find the problem?

I'm new to that and appreciate any help!
Thank you! :)

[Update]

The log file when the game breaks:

Re: Specific game crashes after switch from NVidia to AMD

It was the Steam overlay:

How do I set this thread to [SOLVED]?
