On the initial startup of the game I had the Freeze on first word screen after Rockstar login issue that so many others here have experienced. What finally worked for me was switching to GE-Proton9-2 no additional Launch Options needed. I'm running Mint 21.3
I have to ammend my previous report. I thought that when I switched versions of Proton that made the game work, but when I tried to play again it froze on the first gray text screen like all the others here complain about. I'll explain what I do to make it work, but I can't tell you why it works?! What I do is this. I have two monitors, and I open my browser on the 2nd one (Firefox) and then I start the game and it works. It's worked so far 100% of the time when I do that, and froze 100% of the time when I haven't. Maybe someone here with more knowledge than me will know why it works?! But it is indeed working for me so far.
