Dying Light The Beast freezes after a few minutes of gameplay
When trying to play Dying Light The Beast on my desktop, it will freeze when trying to leave the area you spawn into when loading your game (has happened in different areas). I also play on my Steam Deck and it doesn't seem to have this problem. Desktop specs are Gigabyte Nvidia 4080 Super, 9800X3D, 32 GB of RAM EXPO on. Bazzite is up to date. Weirdly this issue happened before but seemed to go away when I traveled a different direction than where it was freezing previously, but this no longer works as it freezes no matter where I travel now.
When the game freezes I can still hear audio although it seems like just background music and the game isn't actually functioning behind the freeze. I have to force close it via the taskbar or Steam's "Stop" button.
I've tried using Proton GE 10-20, 10.02 Beta, Experimental. I've tried Wayland and XWayland. I've tried fullscreen, borderless windowed, DLSS on and off, Nvidia Relfex on and off, deleting shader cache, still freezes in the same spot.
Apoloigizes if this doesn't belong here, it only seems to happen on my Bazzite desktop. I've searched around and only found a few very brief mentions of the issue on Linux, but no solutions to go with them.

I have a proton log from the crash, not sure what I should look for but when it crashes this appears a ton of times repeatedly:
326708.476:0160:0164:warn:vkd3d-proton:d3d12_resource_QueryInterface: {6b3b2502-6e51-45b3-90ee-9884265e8df3} not implemented, returning E_NOINTERFACE.
Just in case anyone else has this issue, it seems playing with HDR enabled on my monitor, in-game, and through Proton via the commands for HDR and Wayland solved the issue. Before I was playing on my TV with HDR enabled, but when playing on my monitor (that is HDR capable but it's bad so I usually leave it off) it seems to freeze up. No idea what would cause that, but maybe something to go off of for someone smarter than me
