My system consistently freezes when I open certain games, so far the games this happens on are Hearts of Iron 4 and Superhot, other games work just fine. Both open up then freeze, the mouse and keyboard input nothing and the only way to get out of it is doing ctrl+alt+backspace to shut down the X server. I have tried switching kernels and drivers aswell as changing to the unstable branch and even reinstalling Manjaro but nothing has fixed this. I’d appreciate any help on this as I have no idea why this is happening
