Almost immediately after starting a battle the display I was using closed and kicked me back to the login screen. A possibly enlightening snippet from /var/log/messages suggests a segfault may be the cause: Code: Oct 29 01:40:39 salt kdm[2993]: X server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly Oct 29 01:40:39 salt polkitd[2767]: Unregistered Authentication Agent for unix-session:/org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session99 (system bus name :1.912, object path /org/kde/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_US.UTF-8) (disconnected from bus) Oct 29 01:20:26 salt kernel: CoherentUI_Host[25858]: segfault at 0 ip 000000000047330a sp 00007fffeb9c0890 error 4 in CoherentUI_Host[400000+4334000] Oct 29 01:40:39 salt kdm[25067]: :0[25067]: pam_unix(kde:session): session closed for user wetzker
I had forgotten my go-to solution of disabling the steam overlay, doing so seems to have stopped the problem. It's unusual because when the overlay causes problems it mostly hurts performance or has the game hang, I've never seen a crash-to-desktop-and-then-crash-the-desktop issue before.
