NVIDIA Vulkan Beta driver 515.49.19 is out now, driver 515.76 causing problems

Quoting: STiATI'm actually running 515.76 pretty fine, I'm running wayland/xwayland though.

The issue is that it sometimes freaks out to a black screen and recovers again. Could be related, but maybe just be unstable xwayland on Nvidia (I ran Xorg in F36, switched to Wayland with F37).
Last time i tried Wayland on nvidia (nobara) i got significant more stutering while playing games. It all goes away switching back to x11. Works fine for you ?

Stable driver 515.76 was released back on September 20th, and it appears to be causing lots of people to get a black screen so you may want to stick with the previous version 515.57. Hopefully NVIDIA will find the issue and fix it up soon.

It doesn't seem to be much common. I also couldn't make 515.76 work, it always resulted in a black screen.

The new Library Mode in Wine manager Bottles looks awesome

It looks good ! Maybe its just me, but i always got lost in the bottles UI and config options. Maybe a small video tutorial would make things easy.

Prodeus cancels the Native Linux version, focusing on Proton compatibility (updated)

Honestly, i think the developer is right. Native builds are hard to maintain, easy to break after some time and fragment development and multiplayer base. Focus on a great proton experience is the best route.

GOverlay for configuring the MangoHud performance overlay new release out

Quoting: scaineI need to look into ReplaySorcery. I've been using OBS and its ReplayBuffer, but because OBS can't auto-detect game windows, you have to remember to change the "Game Window" source every time you play. But with this, provided you launch the game with mangohud enabled, you'd get instant replay through ReplaySorcery, which I love the sound of.
The problem with Replaysourcery is that it seems abandoned. I'm still considering if keeping it inside goverlay worth the effort in the future. But gpu-screen-recoder [External Link] is a project that i keep an eye on.

Quoting: fagnerlnFantastic to know that Mangohud shows the reason of the throttling, steam deck is revolutionizing things 😅

A small question: GOverlay has some tool to help edit reshade shaders? I use only Vibrance.fx and it's a bit annoying to edit on the text editor.
Nope, since there's lots of effects i would be a monumental effort to create a GUI to every single one. But what i plan to do add a button to open the file in a text editor just to make things easier.

Quoting: fearnflavioThat looks great!
I am using the beta drivers and they are already pretty good. Just waiting for TKG to update their scripts now for me to update :)
Flavio there's no need to wait for the tkg update, you can install the tkg-script and choose the "custom" option in the installation menu. then just type the driver release number, it usually works just fine.

Good to see that ! now we need a more modern UI. But, one step at a time.

Let me put this out, THIS is the best game i ever played. I finished it on PS4 years ago... I usually wait for heavy discounts for AAA titles, but this game deserves a full price for me, it is a master piece. Also i would like to see sony pushing their titles on PC.
