Proton 8 and up not working with Nvidia? (lemm.ee)

Hello! I've tried a bunch of games but they're just not able to start on proton/wine/GE proton version 8 and up. If I switch back to proton 7 they're working fine. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have a solution. Also softwares that don't require GPU work fine too with version 8.

There have been a few nvidia specific bugs recently I stumbled upon. One was that dx setup just hangs if I install new games with proton 8. Solved by just killing the process during install. The other one was that all games became extremly laggy, like 1fps on X11. That can be worked around by using wayland, which brings new bugs to the table. Oh the joy of nvidia drivers

I'm seriously considering going AMD for my GPU. I will sorely miss DLSS and good raytracing performance, but Nvidia driver support on Linux (and honestly even on Windows sometimes) is just terrible.

Same. Only reason I'm still on nvidia is because I need hardware raytracing support for blender, and they haven't ported that to Linux for AMD yet.

Same here. I wish I had bought an AMD GPU. Dealing with nvidia drivers is the only issues I have nowadays with linux

Can't tell you how much fun it is to troubleshoot problems all day /s.
