VkBasalt not working on Pop!_OS 21.04 (Installed Separately or with GOverlay)

Hello, i'm having an issue with VKBasalt that i can't seem to fix. Basically i've installed it through GOverlay and after trying it in a few different games it didn't work in any of them. I'd like to use this in mostly source engine games, through proton. I've enabled it through the launch option ENABLE_VKBASALT=1 %command% and for Half Life 2 i even pasted the config file directly in the root folder but alas it still didn't work. I wish there was an option for a sound to be played when it gets enabled so i know if it worked or not instead of just guessing. Regardless i've tried almost everything at this point and i still have no idea what's causing my issues. I'd also like to know what's the default folder for debug files since the github readme doesn't say

There's also the issue of the game just crashing entirely when i use vkbasalt enable directly as launch option, i'd look at the log but i don't know where it is

for reference, this is what i have in my launch options "ENABLE_VKBASALT=1 VKBASALT_LOG_LEVEL=error VKBASALT_LOG_FILE="vkBasalt.log"

You can set up mangohud for it to show if vkBasalt is turned on or off via GOverlay. About the issue itself, sorry, I do not have a solution.
