SSH'd and tried dmesg like you said and attached. I've been trying apitrace but
the game depends on Steam and uses a seperate launcher to start the game and
can't figure out how to get a proper trace becaue of it. Launching what looks
like the game binary directly (game.x86_64) and it still brings up the
launcher.

Just this morning I was able to play without incident for ~ 1 hour for the
first time, then locked up almost immediately in a mission again after
restarting.
