Frequent Crashes (Linux)

I'm posting this in hope that it will help GGG to fix some bugs.

I've been experiencing very frequent crashes in the campaign. Last league it worked perfectly fine and I was using the exact same setup.

My specs:
- Operating System: Nobara Linux 43
- Kernel Version: 6.19.5-200.nobara.fc43.x86_64 (64-bit)
- Processor: Intel Core i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz
- Memory: 16 GiB of RAM
- Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070


What I've tried so far:
- Updating all drivers
- Changing from Vulcan to DirectX12
- Deleting the Shader Cache and verifying game integrity via Steam
- Setting Texture Quality from High to Medium
- Disabling Multithreading
- Changing from Windowed Fullscreen to Fullscreen

Nothing has helped so far.

Thanks to everyone reading this. :-)

Does the Proton log record anything potentially meaningful?

Less likely though it may be, does Path of Exile's own log file capture anything?

Do you know where to find the Proton log?

I also just started to get frequent crashes on POE after having no issues since league launch.
I am on Bazzite, and I run POE thru Heroic Games Launcher. There is nothing unusual in the logs there, but I don't know where to find any Proton specific log.

Thank you for your answer!

Since yesterday the situation has improved and I get less crashes. Maybe it's due to the hotfix.
Edit: now it's back to crashing very often

I'm new to Linux so I hope I set up the Proton log correctly.
I played till it crashed a few more times and three things stand out in the log.

a lot of errors in red like:
1932.391:013c:0184:err:font:alloc_font_handle out of realized font handles

some in orange like:
13804.022:013c:0194:warn:seh:virtual_unwind backtrace: 00000001401D04A1: L"PathOfExileSteam.exe" + 00000000001D04A1.

the last lines after a crash are always something like this:

Also twice I had an error message: Detected Corrupted Game Files

Hi
If I did it correctly, I set up Proton log with the launch option:
PROTON_LOG=1 %command%
The log file itself was in my home directory.
