Games from steam, both proton and native, will just close themselves after 10 seconds without creating a window. I thought it was an nvidia driver issue, but using nvidia-istaller-db on a clean install didn’t fix it. Thanks in advance.

Might be an issue with nvidia driver and latest kernels. I noticed some odd behavior when using the 5.14 kernel. For instance, DX12 (vkd3d) games just wouldn’t launch with 5.14 but will with 5.10 lts.
Switching to 5.10 with akm didn’t fix the issue.
this is a database only not a driver 
local/nvidia-installer-db 2.4.25-1
Database for the script to setup nvidia drivers in EndeavourOS
The installer helper is called nvidia-installer-dkms —> https://discovery.endeavouros.com/nvidia/nvidia-installer/2021/03/
Could you install mesa-demos to get: glxinfo
extra/mesa-demos 8.4.0-4 (1.6 MiB 7.8 MiB) (Installed)
Mesa demos and tools incl. glxinfo + glxgears
and show inxi -G

this is looking good… driver is fully loaded… and hardware rendering is working.
could this hint on an issue?
vkCreateInstance failed with error -9
BInit - Unable to initialize Vulkan!
Found the solution! All I had to do was install lib32-nvidia-utils.
nvidia-installer-dkms installs it by default…
