Ia there a version of Proton that fixes the constant crashing in RDR2 and specially in RDO?

QuoteWarhammer 40k Darktide is playable with AMD GPUs.
I've got tens of hours in Darktide on my AMD 6900XT, so I'm a bit baffled that those release notes.
Presumably there was a Proton 9 regression that introduced an issue? I used Proton Experimental and played right up to Christmas last year, so all Proton 8-based.
