Description Tara 2024-07-06 23:58:36 UTC
I know this is a bug, just not for what component. When playing games on Steam and using the Wayland desktop, if i am recording my screen or streaming over discord, after a minute or two the game, steam, and the recording app crashes. I don't know how to obtain a crash report since no crash report dialog pops up, and this involves multiple applications. I will provide the steps I know reproduce it, and will specify the game I was trying to play. I am sure it has nothing to do with the game, and X11 works perfectly, but lacks some of the nice new features Wayland has.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch Vesktop (I use this one because screen-sharing with audio on linux)
2. Launch steam
3. Screenshare the whole desktop
4. Launch Resident Evil 7
5. Play for a minute
6. Everything crashes.

OBSERVED RESULT
Crashes - It specifically says wayland crashes

EXPECTED RESULT
No crashes.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma:  Garuda
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I don't know if this is a bug with Vesktop, Wayland, Plasma, or all of the above. I get different behavior on X11 than on Wayland. I do know if i am not recording the screen or sharing it, the game does not crash, however the FPS is absolutely terrible in wayland.

If the other app crashes, the other app is at fault.

I filed this with the apps, was told it's the compositor.
