games like cyberpunk 2077, fh4, and l4d2 will freeze mid startup on this driver. I cant rollback to my previous driver which was the 525 one. im on linux mint.
Did you try different Proton version?
545.29.06 fixed that for me on Counter-Strike 2 at least
525 wasn’t the previous driver. 535 is. And there’s 100% a PPA that will let you do that.
Also, I’m on 545 and Cyberpunk 2077 runs perfectly well for me, and I’ve run a dozen or more games without a single freeze. Control, CP2077, Mortal Kombat 1, The Evil Within 2, Dead Cells, and more.
Yet another Nvidia + Linux mint post!
Normally there is a problem with users using one of them, but now it’s both.
I feel sorry for the user using such an unlucky combination.
This time I cannot even saying which one is most likely the culprit as it can be both of them.
been using mint cinnamon+Nvidia for a long time in gaming… never had any issue
Are you sure?
Because I had problems in other desktop environments on both AMD and Intel GPUs from time to time.
So it’s hard for me to believe that you never had problems with Cinnamon and Nvidia.
a laptop? if so then use Nvidia Performance mode (Nvidia as display renderer) not On-Demand mode
I have the exact same problem on OpenSUSE.
