It looks like all the older packages are now dummy packages that install 580. For example: user@host:~$ apt show nvidia-driver-575 Package: nvidia-driver-575 Version: 575.64.03-0ubuntu0.24.04.3 Priority: optional Section: multiverse/libs Source: nvidia-graphics-drivers-575 Origin: Ubuntu Maintainer…

To reproduce the freeze is relatively simple. I run Horizon Zero Dawn (remastered) via Wine 10.16 with: vkd3d-proton 2.14.1 dxvk 2.6.2 dxvk-nvapi 0.9 Running in a virtual desktop, simply switch between windows and eventually it will freeze. Things like v-sync, dlss, etc, don’t seem to make a diff…

This happens with most games that are using D3D whenever they are windowed or on a virtual desktop. This wasn’t happening before on 550; but now that I’ve been bumped off of 550, I’m finding that both 570 and 580 freeze whenever I Alt+Tab out of Wine.

I’m running into the same issue. I can confirm every driver release after 550.144.03 causes crashes/freezes on Ubuntu 24.04, with X11 on my RTX2060 laptop. I put my workaround to rollback and stay at driver version 550 here: 580 release feedback & discussion - #644 by m.mucahidbenlioglu I’m copy pa…

@stephematician , @m.mucahidbenlioglu . Filed NVBug internally to track this issue - 5596412 Please capture a NVIDIA bug report the next time you run into this issue. We will try with Horizon Dawn running through Wine. Please let us know if there are any other steps that can help us reproduce this…

@abchauhan - thanks for replying; I will upload a log shortly. I can confirm that rolling back to 550.144.03 works. I can also confirm that the freezes occur in both 570 and 580, and are not confined to Horizon Zero Dawn. They also occur in, say, Alien Isolation. I suspect they’ll occur in many VK…

Thanks, was a little trickier for me. I had to roll back to the 6.11 kernel first and remove the HWE kernel for24.04 (which is 6.14) because 550.144.03 as packaged does not compile on 6.14. The command I used once I had the right kernel was: sudo apt remove nvidia-driver-580 nvidia-driver-550 sudo…

Hi @abchauhan - I have sent via email a bug report. Thank you for reaching out about bug 5596412. To reproduce the freeze (on my system) is relatively straightforward: Either set wine to emulate “virtual desktop”, or within the game select “windowed” mode. Run game (e.g. Horizon Zero Dawn, Alien …

I appear to have the same issue with a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU: ever since being forced to update from 550 to 580, games that ran fine on Proton Hotfix earlier now freeze seemingly at random, and also more predictably when alt-tabbing back and forth from another window. The freezing doesn…

Thanks for reporting/confirming. Interesting that both Turing and Ampere (i.e. the 2060 and 3050) are affected. If you’re interested, I went through a whole mess of a process to get back to 550.163.01 on my Ubuntu machine. The details are here: Hold your NVIDIA drivers if they are stable - #26 by st…

Downgrade 580 on Ubuntu? Wine freezes (any D3D)

A better title would be that it freezes any VKD3D or DXVK game that I’ve tried.
