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?
you can do this with:
xset -dpmsto check your current settings:
xset qshould show something like:
DPMS (Energy Star):Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0
DPMS is Disabled
Thanks you guys. I will try this out tomorrow and report the results.
UPD: It seems to work. Thanks again.
