Linux: Can't make it past splash screen

Hey folks,

I recently transitioned my laptop over to Pop! OS, and have been attempting to play the game through Proton on Steam.

Unfortunately, even after ensuring drivers are up to date, that movies folders have been deleted, and that .dll file has been renamed, I am unable to get the game to go past the splash screen.

I've spent some time hunting the web for a fix and have been unable to find one. I'm hoping that someone would be able to assist me further? :)
