I haven’t been able to play minecraft at all as vanilla, VulkanMod, and Fabulously Optimized (modpack) flicker to the point of becoming completely unplayable. Discord shows different issues such as UI elements disappearing, frames being rendered in the wrong order, and apparent latency.
More info:

DE: KDE
XDG_SESSION_TYPE: wayland
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Super
Multi-Monitor: yes, 2, both 1080p, both 60hz, no g-sync support as far as i’m aware

Monitor 2: ViewSonic VX2476
Affected Programs: Discord, Minecraft
NVIDIA doesn’t implement implicit sync as the others vendors do.
Those issues are caused by this.
While they (NVIDIA) can’t land explicit sync on ALL projects (Wayland protocol, mesa, compositors, etc…), that is the state of things.
Either downgrade your driver to 535 series or switch to xorg or start looking for heavily patched xwayland, wayland protocols and possibly mutter
Well, in my opinion NVIDIA should have implemented implicit sync since the beginning.
That being said, that is my opinion and I don’t think NVIDIA will ever implement it and will wait until explicit sync is fully in place (after all, they proposed explicit sync).
It might take a while to get it all merged/implemented. (Tearing protocol for instance took 2 years).
So, I’m just being practical and presenting you with the options your have because no one known how long it will take to have it all implemented.
Absolutely, and I appreciate you providing the context of the issue to OP. Just wanted to make clear / confirm that it is a regression that should be addressed.
In case anyone still has this problem, the new 555 drivers fix this. Right now they are in the AUR as beta packages. If you haven’t updated recently, the new xorg-xwayland package also fixes things.
Side note: Launching discord with “–enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platfom=wayland” fixes a lot of glitches on wayland, and those options also work on many other chromium-based apps like vscode.
I have the strangest issues: people were having heavy flickering with older drivers on Wayland. Actually I was OK with drivers 550 (except for horrible kernel panics), now I have heavy flickers instead with 555. I wonder if I should enable any kernel parameter.
