MangoHud Causes game not to launch and plasma to crash

Issue: So if i try to start any game with MangoHud as part of the steam properties, the game just doesn’t launch and plasma shell will eventually restart. I get the below errors and can’t quite figure out why its not working.. was working before the recent mesa update.

fsync: up and running.
