Fixed by upgrading Linux kernel from 5.15 to 6.8 (Upgrade Manager>View>Linux Kernels).
Once I did the kernel upgrade, it runs great.
I was getting the same color gradient hangup after the shaders loaded. Switching to Proton 8.0-5 allowed me to get to the EULA.
But then, my mouse and keyboard inputs would not work. I went into the GameUserSettings.ini file in [my steam sirectory]/steamapps/compatdata/1601570/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/11bitstudios/TheAlters/Steam/Saved/Config/76561197999052800.
I changed these settings to what you see below:
ResolutionSizeX=1920
ResolutionSizeY=1080
FullscreenMode=0
LastConfirmedFullscreenMode=0
PreferredFullscreenMode=0
(My monitor is 1440p) This allowed my mouse and keyboard to work and the game to run properly.
I TRIED to reset my resolution to 1440p, but failed. The game locks up prior to loading the initial menu at any resolution above 1080p.
It won't work in windowed fullscreen, nor will it work properly above 1080p
Mouse and keyboard input won't work above 1080p
I've played 13 hours of actual gameplay since tinkering (middle of Act 2 now) without further issues. Save, exit, reload are all fine.
