Help with RE9 crashing

tech support wanted

Hello

I recently installed RE Requiem on my CachyOS system from steam
here are my specs

I was running into an issue where the game would crash at the beginning and get an unhandeled exception popup but managed to solve it by adding a dinput8.dll file from reframework mod which got me to the main menu. However, the game is laggy and crashes a minute after being in the menu. my gpu and cpu aren't utilized that much based on this screenshot

I tried using proton experimental, 10, hotfix, and steamlinux options in the steam properities game settings but same outcome. my current launch command is just enabling mangohud overlay

I have seen a lot of users who managed to get the game running but I wasn't able to replicate their success.

what am I missing in my current setup??
