Latest releases freezes The Elder Scrolls Online an then the whole OS
(edit: Today, I couldn't reproduce this problem anymore. If I don't encounter the problem for the next few days, I'll close this ticket.)
After the latest Sniper beta update (which probably was 0.20230808.56699 (Steampipe build ID 11903591), but I'm not 100% sure), The Elder Scrolls Online (with Steam Beta on Kubuntu 23.04) freezes within the first 5 minutes of playing (on the loading screen), and a few seconds later, my complete OS becomes unresponsive so that I need to reboot. (I can't even switch from the UI to a virtual console.)
Going back to Sniper 11406188 fixes this problem for me. So my best guess is that it's a Sniper regression.
(I haven't player any other games with that particular Sniper version yet. So I don't know if this is specific to ESO.)
