For those of you on Linux + Steam, how to make multithreading work? (lemmy.world)

I have a very old CPU and without multithreading I get abysmal FPS in certain encounters like Breach (which I'm farming), couple of times I hit 1 FPS, and average like 10 FPS, which often kills me.

Multithreading + Vulkan crashes the game with an engine error that apparently has no fix; DX12/11 crash the game as soon as I pick either. I think I'm running PoE with the latest ProtonGE. Any way to make it work? I don't really care about graphics at this point, if I can get 30+ stable FPS in Breaches I'm happy lol

edit:

nVidia GPU and latest stable GPU drivers
updated PoP! OS

The only thing that I've encountered that may be relevant, the flatpack version of steam on popOS had issues and after installing from apt my games started working as expected. So possibly reinstall steam with apt vs the popshop.
