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.

What version of the Nvidia driver are you running?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

531.113.1 same in flatpak.

Yeah, that's only a month old, I was definitely running proton 8 on drivers older than that. I'm installing via manjaro's stuff though. Maybe clear your shader caches?

How do I do that?

Not on my home PC at the moment, but from the internet it looks like Nvidia has a cache at ~/.nv, and steam stores theirs at path_to_library/steamapps/shadercache. I suggest renaming them rather than deleting them so you have the option to restore them if this doesn't solve it.
