Escape From Tarkov, causes entire DE to crash when alt-tabbing. And apps don't graphically update.
Hello friends,
first issue, no graphical updates unless app restart
Playing any game seems to mess up wayland (just a guess, idk). My browser, my discord, steam and etc apps will stop working. They are still open, but they do not graphically update whenever I interact with them until I close the game and restart those apps. I read elsewhere said this could be a nvidia driver error when vram is maxed but idk.
second issue, worse all apps fail to open while the game is running
Sometimes it can be worse than just failing to graphically update - sometimes the system gets in a real fit. Trying to open any system apps, like system monitor, screenshot, etc, the apps will instantly crash with a crash popup in the bottom right. They never even get to fully start.
third issue, worst of all
But even more egregious, sometimes the DE simply crashes entirely with kwin crash handler or something asking me to submit a bug report. I lose all data or progress in anything I was rendering, recording, or etc.
I'm making this thread because I'd really like to troubleshoot and get to the bottom of this. I was using Linux Mint Cinnamon before and never had issues like these.

I really don't know where to start in order to figure out what the issue is. What log to post, or anything.
update: ok so apparently it can get even worse. because this time after the DE crashed, it didn't come back. even logging out and logging back in didn't fix this.
this is really really ridiculous.
