So, I am looking for any ideas, help or head(s) smarter than mine.
This is my main problem for some time now, easiest way to replicate this is to run anything proton related. After that, some apps just keep spitting this via dmesg:

After a restart, all apps run perfectly fine of course and I can do whatever I need to do, until they stop working again.

On one forum, someone was suggesting a problem with memory, so I memtested it hard — everything is fine
-
On another, the idea was to reinstall
intel-ucodepackage, this unfortunately didn’t help neither -
Finally, I’ve tried
sudo pacman -Qnq | sudo pacman -S -because it was a suggestion somewhere too, no changes after that
My boat:
Arch Linux x86_64 / 6.10.9-arch1-2
Gnome 46.4 / Mutter (X11)
@
ASUS Z97-PRO (Wi-Fi ac)
INTEL i7-4790 + NVIDIA GTX 1070 Ti
Big, fat thanks for your time!
Update: Idea from jrgd did the trick! I am still testing it, but so far, I can’t force anything to fail and everything seems to be working fine!
Have you tried reinstalling proton, or installing an older version of proton?
One of a few things is happening
when a game is calling upon proton, and this error is triggered, and your game crashes, it was either because
Proton (or some affiliated process) reached out to memory at an address it doesn’t have permission to play with.
Proton (or some affiliated process) reached out to memory at an address that makes no sense.
Some kind of overflow error occured
It was either a misconfig on your par, a new version compatibility issue, or a bug causing something in this stack to reach out to a nonsense memory location or causing a stack or buffer overflow, something like that.
Things I’d try:
Check Protons compatibility with your current kernel version.
Check Proton/steamlogs for more info on what might be going on.
If this problem is new and you recently upgraded… Consider rolling back.
No, anything proton related works fine, other apps start crashing when something using proton runs in the background or after it was running before.
This problem keeps popping up all the time, thru multiple updates since I finished installing everything.
I will check the logs.
Ah sorry, I misunderstood.
