[2022] Always crashing mid-game: CPU usage 100%

So I've been playing siege for awhile, but I recently got a pc and I've been trying to play the game on it. Every time I do, I get through about 1 round and then crash. The game sometimes just closes, or sometimes it asks me to send a crash report. One thing I've noticed is that my cpu usage is always at 100% when siege is running, and my gpu barely tries to do anything (i7-11700f and rtx 3060ti, for reference). I've capped the cpu at 99% usage, which did fix the problem, but it also absolutely tanked my fps, which I would like to avoid if possible. I've also tried disabling all startup apps, verifying the files through steam multiple times, switching the drive that the game is on so that it is on the same drive as steam, uninstalling and reinstalling the game, and I even tried to find the sounddata folder but it does not exist anywhere in my files and I'm not sure that it even corresponds to my issue. Does anyone know of another fix that I haven't tried yet? I just want to run the game so that I can play normally.
