I've been having issues lately when lauching certain games. For instance, when launching league of legends, I couldn't click on anything, even tho my mouse was still there. The only way to fix this is to restart my pc every time, then its back to normal. As it turns out, it wasn't linked to the game itself, because similar situation kept appearing. (i.e certain game wouldn't lauch at all).
This error didn't show any error message, until I tried to lauch ''chaos in deponia'' which shown ''Couldn't init SDL''. I thought : thats a start!... But couldn't find anything useful.
Anyway, i've determined a patern where every game in which you specifically need your mouse to move or perform action (ex. slay the spire) ends up crashing.
Thanks for helping!
