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.
Hey OP, can you try running a nested gamescope session to see if that fixes the issue? I usually always do this as a rule of thumb for all full screen applications due to the many QoL features like real Vsync.
Actually, can you even do that on Wayland yet, or is that Xorg-only?
Tbh I don’t know what gamescope is, but I’ll look into that and try it out to see. Thanks!
Gamescope works on Wayland too nowadays.
