Gaming on Wayland, or more specifically sway WM, broke for me when updating to nvidia drivers version 580.

Reverting to 570 fixed the problem.

Card: Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti

What exactly happened: some games wouldn’t launch at all (overwatch 2) while others had severe performance issues (Resident evil 5).

Those were the only two games I tried. Both ran through steam and Proton GE version 10.

Though I didn’t test extensively, both games seemed to work fine on Xorg with nvidia drivers 580. So this confirms it’s only problematic for Wayland.

    I play Helldivers 2 on my PC with 1660super and it works fine. I use Bazzite.

      This is the way. Just recently I used Bazzite’s rollback/rebase feature to debug what turned out to be monitor firmware bug in Gsync triggered in very specific circumstances and not Nvidia drivers’ update. Shit’s lit.🔥
