Plasmashell crashes immediately after launching Arma 3.
***

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Linux/KDE Plasma: 
Operating System: Arch Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8
Kernel Version: 6.2.1-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8-Core Processor
Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
After Arma 3 termination I'm able to relaunch plasmashell with krunner. I have 2 monitors where one is not scaled and the other is (200%). X11 apps are allowed to scale themselves.  With latest plasma 5.26 there were no issues. No other proton games are affected so far. It seems to be connected with Arma 3 ability to follow HiDPi in Windows. On plain 5.27 instead of crashing, panel gone crazy, repeatedly enlarging icons and back. After few seconds plasmashell hanged making desktop unusable. Session had to be killed.

This generally means that kwin_wayland crashed. Can you get a backtrace of the crash, perhaps using `coredumpctl`? See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports#Retrieving_a_backtrace_using_coredumpctl

There's no process related with kwin_wayland nor plasmashell to choose from. After crash occurrence of course.

If kwin_wayland would crash wouldn't title bar be affected? It seems to be present and usable.

backtrace of plasmashell with gdb:

Plasmashell isn't the one that crashed, we would need a backtrace of kwin
Comment 6 grappastudiols@gmail.com 2023-03-02 17:18:34 UTC
Like I said: coredumpctl does not contain kwin_wayland after crash. Is there any way hooking to an existing process?
Comment 7 grappastudiols@gmail.com 2023-03-02 18:01:16 UTC
Just checked: kwin_wayland never crashes during plasmashell crash. It's running all the way.
