Symptoms

At the game starting, the whole desktop and graphics freezes and a kernel panic triggers. Mouse and keyboard get no response. Switching to tty via Ctrl+alt+FN also won't work. This happens mostly at a specific game loading progress shown in img1; but exceptions can also happen.

Reproduction

Start the game and then when it's loading move the mouse around or switch between workspaces or do something.

Additional info

This bug is not 100% reproducible. From my tests and experience, when it's loading, moving mouse around and letting the window focus keep changing, or switching between workspaces etc, will make it more likely reproducible. Most of the time when it freezes, the game loading window is out of focus. When you click Steam "Start game" and keep the mouse at the screen center, making the game loading window always be focused, this bug won't reproduce and may be able to launch successfully.

When kernel panic occurs in this case, REISUB may work, or may not work. All is random. For the game SpaceEngine there are so many quirks with Xwayland. No issue on X11 from my previous X11 experience. This kernel panic bug is only one of these quirks - crashing on loading page, crashing after loaded, crashing when fullscreen, and being stuck at the loading page - all can happen, and randomly. From my experience these quirks all won't happen with X11. This issue only lists the kernel panic phenomena.
