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.

    Ubuntu 25.10 + Wayland + Gnome 49 + Nvidia driver v580.95 (RTX 3070 Ti) works flawlessly for both gaming and normal apps.
