Attempting to set the Preferred video driver option on my computer to wayland does cause Factorio to launch with wayland, and forcing wayland with the SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland option crashes the game

My system is running Arch Linux with KDE Plasma 6.7 Wayland.

I have a AMD Ryzen 7 5800x cpu and a NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3080.
