We do not support changing the threading behavior of DXVK with a config file. Even if we did, the threading in DXVK works fine so if it is indeed multithreading, which breaks the game, it is in game code and any DXVK option wouldn't impact that.
I've been somewhat playing it on and off now, and can't say I've ever had it crash. Then again I'm "only" on a 16-thread CPU, and it might very well explode above that. But, as K0bin mentioned, it's very very unlikely dxvk is the problem here.
You can use the WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY environment variable (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/blob/b7cb2fc548d20bdb3bfe603d30f6b6f191d509bd/proton#L1348-L1352) if you're on Linux.
WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY, see above. This is outside the scope of DXVK though.
Thanks for the info guys! Yeah I never said it was a problem with DXVK I just wanted to know if doing such a thing was possible.

I don't understand how I would force dxvk to use 1 cpu core? I'm using dxvk with the PC port of Legacy of Kain Defiance and the game can sometimes freeze on high core count cpus. I just want to know how to configure dxvk so the game runs on one cpu core without having to go into task manager every time I launch the game and manually setting affinity? Thanks didn't know where else to ask this.
