Nvidia drivers 560 don't run any Proton/Wine games

 

Hi,

I am testing the nvidia-driver-560, alas it looks like although this driver
seems to be shipping with both 64 and 32 bits libraries (managed to build
and run vkcube both 64 and 32 bits), any Proton/Wine game doesn't run, only
native (i.e. DotA2 does run, but not Warframe to cite a couple of examples).

I have tried on a fresh new Ubuntu 24.04 setup and the games seem to start
but then there isn't much in the Proton/Wine logs, the main wine process
seems just 'stuck'.

Rolling back to 555 works a charm, so I'm wondering if the install/deploy
process is somehow missing some (hopefully) simple 'step'.

This was tested on a brand new Ubuntu 24.04.1 install, with Steam off the
apt repo, on a 4090.
Other people in the reddit Linux_gaming community have confirmed the same
issues, with more details here:

.

I hope this can be of help.

Thanks!
