Hello, I’m having a very weird issue: I can only play The Finals (a video game, on Steam native) for one hour at a time.
To be more precise: I launch the game and start a 1 hour timer at the same time, and every single time the game crashes after exactly 1 hour!!! Plus or minus 30 seconds (it’s super precise!).
If find it very odd and I wanted to have your thoughts about this?
Manjaro up to date, KDE Plasma, Steam Native, and Nvidia GPU.
Thanks!
what crashes ? total crash, stuck … ? please describe what in detail crashes.
also post the mandatory output of
inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width
Maybe more info there.
The game crashes: the image freezes. I believe the sound goes on working.

Are you starting the game on the Nvidia GPU or with the default Intel GPU?
I am encountering same problem.
Well, good news! Switching to Plasma 6 somehow solved the problem 
I hope anyone else with this issue will also get it fixed with that update!
Marking this as solution (though it’s not a solution for anyone still having to use Plasma 5…).
Cheers!
