My issue is similar to this one, but details are different Nvidia 560.35.03 + optimus-manager-git hybrid mode: game freeze - #19 by Mindar
Recently some Steam games are freezing while using proton. Some on startup, some while playing, some not at all. I’ve reinstalled steam and proton-ge-custom-bin as well as tried to use different proton version.
When the game freezes it only happens to video, sound is fine. So my suspicion that the problem is in NVIDIA drivers that recently got updated from 555.58.02 to 560.35.03.
I’ve tried downgrading them with downgrade lib32-nvidia-utils nvidia-dkms nvidia-utils opencl-nvidia but got this error after install failed to generate CDI spec: failed to create device CDI specs: failed to initialize NVML: Driver/library version mismatch while running nvidia-ctk-cdi.hook. Since I’m not sure what it means, I reupgraded them to 560 without rebooting.
It seems I also need to downgrade libnvidia-container and nvidia-container-toolkit but I don’t know which version to choose and afraid to mess with it.
