Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS and Radeon 6700xt driver crash when opening games through Steam or Lutris

I have installed a Radeon RX 6700XT video card in my computer. Normal operation is fine, I can surf the web, watch videos through VLC, open office docs, etc.

When I launch any game through Steam there is a flicker and the screen stops responding to input. The mouse moves but you cannot click on anything. I can change sesions by using Ctrl+Alt+F6 and reboot the box but I have not found a way to recover the intial session without rebooting. I have also been unsuccesful in finding a log or something that will indicate what is causing what I am assuming is a driver crash.

When I change sessions and login I am presented with [drm:amdgpu_cs_ioctl [amdgpu]] *ERROR* Failed to initialize parser -125! repeating as many times as I want to watch it print.

Things I have tried:

Changing video drivers, I have not found a way to do this with AMD.
Re-installed Steam.
Logged into Ubuntu without Cinnamon running, this produced the same result.
Installed Lutris and tried to launch a game, same result.

Any ideas how to resolve or troubleshoot this?

I would start at the Steam Support site as the problem is with that environment.

It also happens with games launched with Lutris not just Steam.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
