Is that laptop only issue?
i haven't encountered any issues and have been running 6.10 and 560 drivers long time.
I also use my PC quite heavily every day and rarely shut it down. But i use X11 not wayland if thats also a difference i guess..
For me nvidia drivers have been incredibly stable since 545 at least... 530 had some regressions with some games iirc but after that its been smooth sailing for me

Hunt: Showdown 1896 broke on Linux / Steam Deck, here's the quick fix for now

edit: i mean each their own, but experimental stable channel is just fine.. newer releases usually work the best with it before the fixes get into hotfix or into stable.. in rare cases where regressions happen, its not hard to switch to stable then for that game.

Quoting: dpanterOnly use Proton Experimental for the edge cases where something isn't working properly, like this one. There's already a fix and it'll be merged into stock Proton as necessary, making Hotfix version the current proper choice for this specific game at this point in time. Once merged, change back to stock Proton.Wait what... I always use experimental and haven't ran into issues. If i would then i would switch to normal proton for said game, but running experimental has been fine and its nice to have latest and greatest improvements....now bleeding edge experimental is entirely different topic ofc.
Do not use Experimental as default or as a permanent choice. It cannot be overstated or repeated enough times. Come on people.

560.28.03 seems to work as good as 555.58 .. no issues to report. well except i haven't tried with firmware enabled yet. But yeah.. no complaints. X11 though.

Just bought the game today. And its F**king awesome!
It's kinda like Half-Life 2 + F.E.A.R. + Boomer Shooter
Subtle hints about new things like in valve games, before those mechanics start to be thrown at you. Physics Puzzles and very good level design
Enemy AI is similar to F.E.A.R. They flank you and rush you or go into hiding at times. Level design allows nice flanking also for the most part.
and the Gunplay is just amazing. The best Shotgun I ever seen/heard in FPS games :)
Just around 3 hours in atm. Retro Visuals look super nice also. Runs like a dream also without even taxing the system at all

THanks for the News. Will give it a try when CP2077 support drops.

Gunplay looks kinda bad (not awful ofc) from that gameplay trailer. And i hope there's no QTE stuff like seen on the trailer.
Other than that. the World looks nice. Lets hope it will be good game without any major bugs on launch.
