Thank you both so much! I ended up running sudo apt full-upgrade and after a reboot its working, and dsmeg just shows things running normally. I'm sorry for wasting your time with nothing. Thank you!

What did you do?
I closed the game via Alt+F4 hotkey or via the main menu (red exit button)

What happened?
The game crashed, I was not able to switch tabs or open new tabs. Mouse was unresponsive. Computer needed to be rebooted by holding down power button.

What did you expect to happen instead ...
