Any Dragon Age Veilguard players? Having troubles with crashes

Anyone out there playing Dragon Age Veilguard? I would really like to, since I loved Inquisition and have been following this for ages, but I cannot AT ALL get the damn game to stop crashing. I can install and launch it, but no matter what settings I seem to fiddle around with the game just constantly crashes basically instantly once I actually go into the game past the main menu. I cannot even get past the intro cinematic. It hard locks the entire system too, forcing me to press the physical reboot button on the tower.

Anyone else experiencing this? There are some others in the steam discussions but that place is a dumpster fire of idiots so you can't ever get any meaningful help there.

There's some threads on the EA support forum, basically saying the exact same thing I am reporting, but so far no solutions.

I have tried in wayland and in x, no luck on either. I don't have this issue with any other games.

When I view my crash logs, I have two events:

1) plasmashell
2) xwayland

they do a crash dump at the same time when the system locks up. Here's a copy paste of those logs, I can't make any sense of them though, does anyone know how to read these damn things?

I'm guessing that plasma and xwayland are collateral damage. The game causes the kernel GPU driver to take a nosedive, in turn crashing everything that uses the GPU before it hard locks the system.

The dmesg log will probably show a GPU hang and unsuccessful reset.

Usually the go to place for solutions or workarounds are the github issue tracker for Proton or Mesa issues but I'm getting squat there for Veilguard
