Program did run using nouveau but nouveau and KDE/Plasma desktop do not mix. 
So have not played it using nouveau in recent memory.
It is no longer possible to downgrade to the testing version of the nvidia.

If other programs fail with the same error, then the point is well made.
If this is unique here, then something in the ace "backend" might be examined.
