Proton 8 and up not working with Nvidia? (lemm.ee)

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.

I'm seriously considering going AMD for my GPU. I will sorely miss DLSS and good raytracing performance, but Nvidia driver support on Linux (and honestly even on Windows sometimes) is just terrible.

Same here. I wish I had bought an AMD GPU. Dealing with nvidia drivers is the only issues I have nowadays with linux

Same. Only reason I'm still on nvidia is because I need hardware raytracing support for blender, and they haven't ported that to Linux for AMD yet.
