POE1(videogame) freezing, crashing and general heavy FPS drops.

I am using steam (the package), to play Path of Exile, and I am having some issues, mainly freezing and crashing, I can't tell what makes it happen, it seems to happen at random after some variable time after playing the game.

Usually is not too soon after startup (it takes 10 min+ to start to crash or freeze).

Sometimes the game also drops fps heavily (slowdown), I believe is not because of thermal throttling, because if I kill the game and immediately start it back up I have a good amount of time before the issue arises again.

Using

 PROTON_LOG=1 gamemoderun %command%

as the steam launch options I came up with this logs on 4 different playing instances. (before using gamemoderun the game seemed to die even more often and more easily, after using gamemoderun the game seems to only have slowdowns and disconnections, but not outright freezes/crashes).

The logs are in a hosting service recommended on the arch wiki because the logs are 20+ MB(very repetitive).

first-log-some-slowdown.log
https://0x0.st/8sxD.log

unexpected-disconection.log
https://0x0.st/8sxk.log

again-some-slowdown.log
https://0x0.st/8sxn.log

possible-crash.log
https://0x0.st/8sx5.log

So for this part of the logs

 
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libgamemodeauto.so.0' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

I found this thread, but I did install lib32-gamemode, so, I am not sure why this error pops up. (It's the only part of the logs that includes the ERROR string)

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1352334 … eauto-so-0

Also found lots of lines like this in the logs:

 50.624:0064:0070:trace:unwind:dump_unwind_info     0x4: pushq %rbx
 50.624:0064:0070:trace:unwind:dump_unwind_info     0x3: pushq %rsi
 50.624:0064:0070:trace:unwind:dump_unwind_info     0x2: pushq %rdi

And it seems like the stack unwinding can't be a good thing? but it's not a very googlable part of the log

This is a less common line in the logs, I try to search this a little bit, it seems to be an issue with X not finding an "adapter", not sure if this refers to my screen, one of the GPUs, if some software construct.
Found a few threads with similar issues but nothing that helped my case:

https://github.com/bottlesdevs/Bottles/issues/3325

 51.331:00cc:00d0:err:xrandr:xrandr14_get_adapters Failed to get adapters

Also found some string containing "err" and "fixme" mostly related to fonts, honestly am not sure what could I do to even find what combo of all of this errors is causing my issues.

Also my hardware details: (output of inxi -Fzxx):
