Palworld causing full system restart on launch

Friend of mine is trying to launch Palworld on Linux Mint, experiences a complete OS crash every time, and only on this game. Have tried different Proton versions including GE as well as launch options like DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME, etc.

DX11 or DX12 both cause these full OS crashes, launching with -vulkan in the launch options causes an Unreal Engine crash instead. Any solutions or suggestions?
