KDE thinks the app is unresponsive

[etam]

Observed behaviour

Just after starting the game, KDE shows on the game window title "(Unresponsive)" and adds a grayscale image filter. I can interact with the game with mouse and keyboard, it doesn't go away.

Expected behaviour

It should not.

Steps to reproduce

1. Start the game

Workaround

Do anything to change the focus out of the game window for a moment. Alt+tab or alt+F2 (to open krunner) or meta (to open start menu) and go back to the game.

My pioneer version: 20250203
OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed
Plasma desktop: 6.2.5 in wayland mode
export: SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland

I get

`
(gdb) run
The program being debugged has been started already.
Start it from the beginning? (y or n) y
Starting program: /usr/bin/pioneer
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1".

Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
0x00005555557155f0 in std::__detail::_Compiler<std::__cxx11::regex_traits >::_S_validate (
__f=) at /usr/include/c++/14/bits/regex_compiler.h:190
190 return __f;
`

This is an issue of the distribution, the precompiled program does not fit with some installed components, self-compiled versions should run.

I use the pioneer binary provided by the distro games repo (I'm also the maintainer of pioneer package there).

I tried running under gdb and valgrind and they didn't report anything.

This is the reason i had to set up an extra old computer with Tumbleweed at all...

...and there are more games, e.g. freecol, affected by such missing compatibilities at runtime. Let's hope openSuSE 16.0 does a big leap to higher versions.
