Weirdest damn thing, occasionally my network connectivity was being lost. Not the wifi signal, but just the route to the internet. I finally realized today it happens whenever I do a fresh boot (i.e. first time after system boot) of Heroic Games Launcher.

I am running OpenSuse Tumbleweed and using the Heroic Flatpak. Any idea how I would debug what the heck is going on so I can give a bug report to the Flatpak maintainers? I was poking around /var/log but didn’t see anything interesting.

Edit: Correction, it brings down my network on every single launch, not just from a fresh boot. The network eventually comes back up, but it blips for a good few minutes.

Message that pops up in KDE is "This device appears to be connected to a network but is unable to reach the internet. " and trying to open websites leads to an error page.

      No problem, glad I was able to recognize the symptoms so quickly. It was incredibly frustrating too! Oh, one more thing to do is launch Heroic from terminal so you can see the output. That’s how I knew which game was causing it.
