[STEAM] Freeze on Turn 33 with -force-vulkan enabled

I've had quite the saga trying to play this game. First on Gamepass it would freeze on me as soon as I started a game with a GPU Async issue. A dev recommended I try the -force-vulkan switch. This is not possible on Gamepass since Gamepass shortcuts do not allow you to provide arguments in the Target field; the Target field is greyed out.

So I bought the game on Steam. Sure enough, it frozen when starting a game. But putting the -force-vulkan switch enabled me to play. Success, finally! Or so I thought.

Well I just had another freeze with the -force-vulkan switch enabled, this time on Turn 33. Here's the final parts of the diagnostics log and before you ask, no I don't have Sonic Audio or the like:
