Hi, so I recently downloaded gmod from steam and so far it's not been able to launch properly. It would load into the main menu, freezes after around 5 seconds, and crashes. I'm currently using Hyprland
Opening the journal shows this error:

Jan 05 23:50:01 qtg systemd[1]: systemd-coredump@33-97683-0.service: Consumed 2.989s CPU time.I have vulkan-intel, mesa, SDL2, and libass.so installed, both 64-bit and 32-bit. I searched around and found out I also need to install the 32-bit versions of gconf and gperftools alongside its dependencies. Still no luck.
However, running the game from the terminal directly using the startup script provided in the game files works fine now, but there's no sound playing. I tried installing the 32-bit versions of ALSA, JACK, PulseAudio, and PipeWire to no avail (I'm using PipeWire as my sound server). And alongside that there's some errors about en_US UTF 8 not loaded, despite locale -a returning that it is loaded. One last quirk with running it from terminal is that it wont properly close. If I pressed 'Quit', it would turn black and not closing at all. I have to kill it for it to close.
I ran the startup script using strace ad here's the output (if it's of any use):

I have tried using proton to run it, but all the issue with running it from the terminal persists, with the exception of the not closing properly problem.
Can anyone help me on this? Because I'm honestly lost at this point
Edit: the method of running it from the terminal seems unreliable as now it crashed when I'm spawning in TFA weapons. I dont know if this is an addon-specific issue, but here's the journal output: https://pastebin.com/PAkrQwee
