Could you please check if under /sys/kernel/debug

You can find a ttm directory under that hierarchy and a ttm_shrink file? Is anything
writing to the file (like the game?)

With nokaslr, do you see a change in the game characteristics, like more simulated
objects (an increase in fleet size, simulated objects)?

It might be interesting to debug the ttm_pages_limit to see if that changes when
nokaslr is enabled as well

Thanks!
