During gameplay, often literally any time (either when I'm idle on the menu or in a game server), TF2 will close up. It's very inconsistent, sometimes I can play for an hour until a crash occurs or the game will crash 5 minutes in. I haven't found any meaningful crash logs, all I get is a "killed" or "removed" message in Konsole and Steam client console.
I've wiped my custom folder, all other mods, launch options, and reinstalled the game, but the issue still persists.
