Proton 8 and up not working with Nvidia? - eviltoast

Hello! I’ve tried a bunch of games but they’re just not able to start on proton/wine/GE proton version 8 and up. If I switch back to proton 7 they’re working fine. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have a solution. Also softwares that don’t require GPU work fine too with version 8.

    Yeah, that’s only a month old, I was definitely running proton 8 on drivers older than that. I’m installing via manjaro’s stuff though. Maybe clear your shader caches?

        Not on my home PC at the moment, but from the internet it looks like Nvidia has a cache at ~/.nv, and steam stores theirs at path_to_library/steamapps/shadercache. I suggest renaming them rather than deleting them so you have the option to restore them if this doesn’t solve it.
