Playing Riven breaks Wayland access to other apps after some time
Hi there, strange problem here. I'm playing the Riven Remake through Steam and this is a game where you need to take notes, so my way was to take screenshots through Spectacle and paste them on a whiteboard app.
The problem comes when after some time playing, invoking spectacle stops working (spectacle crashes), and opening other apps or UIs also don't work: new Firefox windows don´t appear, resizing the existing one freezes it, Discord is frozen, Steam UI is frozen... everything goes back to work when the game is closed.
Searching the logs I see a lot of calls from Firefox on
ConnectToCompositor() so I suppose that´s more or less the same for other apps, which makes sense because closing the game makes it all work again.
I tried various Proton versions (both Valve´s and GE), running through gamescope, running fullscreen and windowed, and nothing seems to work.

Does anyone have any idea to try or how to debug this further?6 replies
