Cannot run The Finals on steam

I am more or less new to having pure arch, and am struggling to run the game called "The Finals"

Issue:
I tried running the game on Experimental/Hotfix proton and it's usually just gets stuck on loading Denuvo
I was able to run a game when I was using preconfigured arch based distro called Omarchy, which was around month ago
Main problem for me is lack of understanding how it all works and how to debug it properly

I am going to list the specs, and then list the things I've tried

Specs and drivers:

What I've tried:
Proton Experimental/Hotfix/Proton 8
I have games installed on native steam and flathub version
Tried running the game and steam with prime-run
Tried using suggested options from ProtonDB reviews on the game, most of which don't even start
Also, rarely it doesn't get stuck and shows me this crash report dump:

I honestly don't have a slightest idea what's that about, but maybe it's a clue to you

If more info on something needed I am happy to paste it here

Re: Cannot run The Finals on steam

What do you get from

vukaninfo --summary #vulkan-tools

And try running the game with

PROTON_LOG=1 %command%

in the launch options and post the log you get in your home dir. Also note https://www.protondb.com/app/2073850 there are various reports of needing some non-standard flags potentially.

Re: Cannot run The Finals on steam

Also, I am getting this error on crash, not always, usually it's stuck loading denuvo

The game has crashed, and terminated with exitcode: 57,005.
