SUMMARY
KDE system slows to a crawl intermittently when playing Albion Online

This is a new issue as of about a week ago when I updated my BIOS, Mesa
drivers, and I believe Albion Online had a patch that day too.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch Albion Online
2. Play for a random amount of time (sometimes immediately, sometimes 2 hours),
but it always happens.

OBSERVED RESULT
FPS drops, GPU cycles down, mouse lags, keyboard shortcuts stop working
consistently, the cursor disappears both in and out of game. Complete system
slowdown.

EXPECTED RESULT
If the game needs to crash, only the game should be affected, not the entire
system.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Hardware is a Framework 16 with dedicated GPU option. An external monitor is
plugged in via the USB-DP port in the back of the GPU

- The CPU usage doesn't max out
- The GPU usage doesn't max out
- The RAM usage doesn't max out
- The Disk i/o doesn't max out
- The Battery is not low
- This occurs whether the power profile is in Balanced or Performance
- The TDP is set to the default settings (120)

I disabled the "automatic battery lifetime extender" in the BIOS in case it was
a power issue. This did not work either.
