GloriousEggroll has released a new custom build of their Proton fork with a hotfix for Resident Evil Village.

Proton-6.9-GE-2

This build is basically a hotfix for Resident Evil Village (8)... again. Yet another crash fix. Hopefully this should make the game playable for most people. I had a handful of people test this build on both AMD and Nvidia, and it seems to mostly resolve the crashes that were happening every launch or every other launch, as well as the graphics setting crashes and loading crashes.

Basically, our old frienemy ntdll-NtAlertThreadByThreadId in staging came back to haunt us. It was causing most of the major crashes. After disabling this patchset the game seems to have become much more playable. This patchset was disabled in the past due to some problems, then was fixed for a while, but now seems to have broken again. I've reported it to upstream staging so hopefully we can get it fixed upstream soon.
