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.
Dude…I’m not even eating my time with y’all who have zero clue as to how QA/CI/UAT works. It’s such a waste of time.
Steam/Proton is only tested for KDE/GNOME, and that’s it. Hands down. Not even up for fucking debate. It’s a FACT.
You can read the docs, repos, GitHub Issues, forums, and everything else you want. That’s the facts, and it’s not going to change. Just because it’s OSS doesn’t mean they have all the time in the world to make sure your edge cases work FFS.
