Soo... where do we go now? What open source alternative exists that is on the side of its users?

So uh, now it works. My screen went black and came back but I could only select 30hz. So I decided to reinstall everything nvidia, nvidia-dkms, nvidia-utils, lib32-nvidia-utils and opencl-nvidia.

After this magically Sims 1 and 2 work! I have tried to get old games to work since October, and I am sure I did this already before, but somehow it now works.

Thanks for everyones help!

Ah, alright, I am using a 3090, that I was foolish enough to buy during the gpu shortage, it's probably not the best supported gpu as it is so expensive and not that common. I am using nvidia-dkms (thought it would have the best compatibility), maybe I should try nouveau just to see if that makes a difference.

Thanks

Would it be something that only nvidia can fix? Or is it a driver issue as in a corrupted install or something?

Thanks!

Sorry, Wayland not X11. The weird thing is that it only happens with old games, I guess I could switch to X11, but I am pretty happy with Wayland otherwise. If there was any fix I could try I'd want to do that before switching to X11.

Hi!

I posted this on reddit and then saw that kde has a lemmy presence, so I am posting it here also, since I vastly prefer lemmy over reddit.:

Sorry if this isn't the right place, but I have no idea where else to ask, I tried asking at discuss.kde.org but got no answers.

I am using Arch with KDE Plasma and an Nvidia GPU, when I play Steam games almost all of them work flawlessly but...

When I try to play older games (like Shadowrun Hong Kong or the rereleases of Sims 1 and 2, or Civ 4 or 5), the graphics are all scrambled like this:

The funny thing is, this is a photo of my screen, if I use Steam to take a screenshot it shows up normally in the screenshot folder...

As it only happens on old games I am thinking those do something different than newer games, it doesn't matter what proton version I use and it only seems to happen under plasma.

Any help would be appreciated!
