Would it be fair to assume that anything Xorg/Wayland is working fine
when the game is not running, even with nokaslr?

+amd-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org to see if there are known issues with
nokaslr and the games you mentioned.

PS: I came across an interesting link
https://www.alex-ionescu.com/behind-windows-x64s-44-bit-memory-addressing-limit/

I think SLIST_HEADER is used by wine as well for user space and I am not sure
if in this situation the game is hitting this scenario, but surprisingly the other
games are not. This is assuming the game uses wine. I am not sure it's related,
but the 44 bits caught my attention.
