After updating my system today, none of the fullscreen games work any more. Instead they display a black screen and appear to lock up, but I can use Ctrl+Alt+Number to log in from the console and kill -9 the app (kill -15 does not work).
I've tried RVGL, some games that work under Wine (Proton) and Tux Racer, to the same effect.
However, vkcube and glxgears work fine!
Tested under X11 and Wayland, same result (in Plasma desktop).
I am not getting any errors when launching them from the terminal.
Hardware is Intel Graphics HD 5500 (Broadwell GT2) using i915 driver.
This was all working 100% fine before updating, I haven't change any configuration.

I've tried downgrading kernel versions, but that doesn't seem to be causing the problem.
The current mesa package is a month old, and this was working less than a month ago.
xf86-video-intel package was released 16th Jan, so I don't think that is the culprit either.

It appears something is deadlocking when trying to open the audio device.

The problem was nothing to do with graphics as I suspected, it is actually the pipewire package!
I downgraded pipewire to 0.3.23-1 and everything is working again. There is something seriously broken in version 0.3.24-1.

Solution mention here works and now I can upgrade pipewire to 0.3.24
