Trouble with certain games on KDE

Greetings. When i run certain games on KDE, the DE crashes and i am sent back to the DM. Why is that?

The list of games that crash KDE:

Xonotic (sdl)
Cube 2
0 ad
Red Eclipse

Init system is OpenRC, if it helps.

Try starting from a terminal and logging the output to a file
eg:
Code: [Select]
xonotic-sdl > ~/xonotic.log
See if that sheds any light ?
For what it's worth xonotic just worked fine on KDE for me.

Okay, printed it out:
Code: [Select]
Client using an automatically assigned port
Client opened a socket on address 0.0.0.0:0

X connection to :0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
Thoughts?

Besides the fact that Artix doesn't maintain xonotic, I have no idea. The only thing which looks suspicious here is this:

Artix uses world/sdl2 2.0.20-2 (just like Arch), this game (packaged by Arch) looks like it is linked against an older version of SDL, which might cause problems. It might not work in Arch as well. I suggest looking in Arch forums and searching the web for a possible solution.

Just checked and it said that in the log I'd saved earlier and mine worked.

What I also have

S_Startup: initializing sound output format: 48000Hz, 16 bit, 2 channels...

I doubt it would be the sound crashing X.
Yours went down straight after

I strongly suspect there's an issue with your video drivers ?
What are you using ?
The "x0.00hz" is weird but the same for you and I.
