Please provide feedback specific to the 555 release series here.

gamescope got me into the game this time but trying to go menus crashed the game and btw once game started xwayland crashed but gamescope didnt vram usage was 4.0gb maxed

As it turns out, it was just an enormous fluke. I got the XWayland crash playing Ready or Not, and it usually happens after I alt-tab out of the game then go back in. Also I got some new warnings i haven’t seen before: Jul 03 11:15:35 admin kernel: NVRM: nvAssertOkFailedNoLog: Assertion failed: O…

Also, there is another issue with Linux native applications that use Vulkan on XWayland causing an X error whenever they’re resized. To test this, you can run vkcube with XWayland and resize it, when you attempt to close the application, it will instead freeze and show this error on the console: (…

Might be because resizing X11 apps makes Xwayland eat +1GB of GPU ram. Just guessing here but it seem to do it for most people, it doesn’t crash here since it stays at a certain limit but it might depend on which GPU architecture you have.

While the current release seems to have stopped my second GPU from timeout/lockup I’m having a lot of video playback hiccups on both GPU’s. Scratch that, everything is herky jerky. Finally had a moment to fire up a game and hitch hitch lag, twitch…looks like a roll back to 550.78 where my second GPU…

I’m also having a alot of simliar issues OS: Arch Linux x86_64 Host: HP ZBook Firefly 14 inch G10 Mobile Workstation PC Kernel: 6.9.7-arch1-1 WM: i3 CPU: 13th Gen Intel i7-1355U (12) @ 1.800GHz GPU: Intel Raptor Lake-P [UHD Graphics] GPU: NVIDIA RTX A500 Laptop GPU Memory: 16 GiB After some…

I’ve been doing some testing regarding the VRAM issue. On any 555 driver, VRAM fills up increadibly quick, even dragging a window makes Kwin_wayland use 2GB of VRAM for some reason. I can get my games to crash XWayland in less than 10 minutes due to VRAM hitting 9.9Gib/10Gib used. On 550 drivers, …

I ended up just switching to integrated AMD GPU. In my opinion in the current state Nvidia driver (both open and proprietary) still unusable. I had permanent problems with sleep no matter what I tried. PC just went to sleep and never wake up again. Hard resetting it every time I go to make a coffe…

Sounds like you tried everything possible on your end. I think there really needs be an advanced tab somewhere to help users debug all this opaque nonsense - a GUI is well overdue when people are resorting to service menus! Manual overrides / info on the current state of the connection and monitor …

On a GeForce GTX 1060, and same for me, but I am using DP. Had to unplug my DP monitor to access the OS and downgrade back to 550.
