Upgraded my Linux kernel from 4.9-LTS to 4.14.18-LTS on Arch Linux recently, and had issues with 390.25 crashing Dota2 on main menu.
Downgraded to 387.34 and had more or less the same problem (see topic: Kernel 4.14.18-LTS with 390.25 crashes Dota2 in main menu (Vulkan) - Linux - NVIDIA Developer Forums
384.111 seems to be the only driver that works for now, however I get random crashes during the game when using the Vulkan renderer.
