Arc Raiders constantly crashes

I've been dealing with this problem for quite some time now. In my efforts to address it, I have added a launch option (PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command%) and tested it with multiple versions of Proton from Experimental, Hotfix, GE-Latest, 10-25, 10-20, 10.0-3 and others. When the game crashes, I've checked journalctl finding some errors, but they seemed to be related to Plex, so I uninstalled Plex to remove them from the equation. I also disabled Virtualization in the motherboard's BIOS as there were some errors relating to this feature in journalctl.

When crashes have occurred, I in most cases would restart the game and continue playing, but the crashes appears to be very intermittent, occurring between 10-40 minutes of game-play.

I've seen the above error dozens if not over 100 times in journalctl and a warning:

At times when Arc Raiders crashes, I have also see Steam crash. I'm about to switch back to Windows despite not wanting to, though I am lost as to what else to do.
