Can you try either prboom or chocolate-doom with the '-nofullscreen' command-line option? My hunch is the problem is related to trying to change the display resolution whilst entering fullscreen mode.
It's likely actually an SDL1 bug. In Chocolate Doom's case, we are moving to SDL2 with the next release (v3) which we consider to be the proper way to address bugs like these, although I don't think prboom has any plans to change. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Debian/Ubuntu Games Team, which is subscribed to chocolate-doom in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1714787 Title: Launching chocolate-doom or prboom-plus crashes Wayland session Status in chocolate-doom package in Ubuntu: New Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: New Status in prboom-plus package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When trying to launch Doom (both chocolate-doom and prboom-plus), the Wayland session will crash.
