@TheAlex63 From my experience, this seems to happen when running an installed instance of the game (with all the content downloaded) from a new wine prefix. It's not really stuck, it just has a disk usage which could take up to an hour to finish.
If you have to have to original prefix which you've installed the game from you can migrate the "C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\LocalLow" the 2 directories: "com.proximabeta" and "com_proximabeta" which will prevent this issue.
