Description Murphy 2020-10-04 16:45:38 UTC
SUMMARY
Powerdevil causes Rocket League (and Plasma) on Steam using Proton 5-0.9 to freeze. You then have to then atl/f2 to restart SDDM. This is on any recent Plasma and on any Distro. (Asus/ nVidia Laptop w/ no other power management installed)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install and play Proton Rocket League on any Plasma Distro. It will freeze around 3 games in.
2. remove PowerDevil / reboot. Doesnt freeze. ever. Can play for days w/ flawless performance.
3. re-Install Powerdevil / reboot. Freezes around 3 games in.

I read Steam Devs are aware of issue and said its a kDE Dev. issue.

So what specifically is frozen? 
Is there anything in journalctl?

If you run  qdbus org.kde.KWin does that show anything.

Can you provide a link, it might have more information.
