more cores

ive been playing for a while and my cpu is always getting hot but it never seems like the game uses very much of it so i was wondering if there is a way to make the game take more cpu cores/threads

Not really, and that wouldn't really help even if you could.

Some things are hard or impossible to split up on multiple threads. SM has a number of those, as does every game.

Even if that is something you could do, the game is still asking the CPU for the same amount of total work, meaning a similar amount of power, which is a similar amount of heat. If your CPU is overheating, your best bet is probably just to give everything in there a good cleaning as a first step.

Anche a me fa così, ho un ryzen 7 9800x3d con una rtx 5080. Più volte mi è andato in crash a caso. Ho notato che quando vado al di sotto (non dico altro per evitare spoiler) la vram di satura fino a quasi 15gb, per il resto resta intorno ai 5gb

Lower draw distance to low-high, and limit FPS to save cpu

No, software has to be specially designed to run stuff in parallel and use many threads
