I have an issue with games running on Proton/Wine. From time to time screen goes to black and monitor shows that it is looking for connection.
This happens both in The Witcher 3 and Nier: Automata on Proton. In both cases opening main menu temporarily fixes the issue.
Graphics card is Nvidia GTX 1060, currently using drivers v415.13 and proton 3.16-4 Beta. But issue has reproduced many times with other versions.
Has anyone encountered something similar?
