New nvidia driver 560 is crashing games. Cannot rollback the version either, they all point to 560 #3372

Distribution (run cat /etc/os-release): NAME="Pop!_OS" VERSION="22.04 LTS" ID=pop ID_LIKE="ubuntu debian" PRETTY_NAME="Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS" VERSION_ID="22.04" HOME_URL="https://pop.system76.com" SUPPORT_URL="https://support.system76.com" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://github.com/pop-os/pop/issues" PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://system76.com/privacy" VERSION_CODENAME=jammy UBUNTU_CODENAME=jammy LOGO=distributor-logo-pop-os

Related Application and/or Package Version (run apt policy $PACKAGE NAME): Lutris, both versions, Flatpak's and Pop_OS!

Issue/Bug Description: In tuesday september 17 2024 I received a notification to reboot my laptop to apply important updates, nvidia-560 among them. However, my WoW in Flatpak's Lutris (the default Pop_OS! version one stopped working altogether, gave up on it) will crash after 10mins of gameplay now, no matter the wine runner used. Was told to rollback, that there is an installation error with the current nvidia driver, however, doing apt install nvidia-driver 555, 550 or 545 all forcefully download and install 560, it's impossible to rollback. Was told to avoid the .run file given by Nvidia's website too, as it might cause problems that can lead me to reinstall the entire distro. I'm not sure what to do, I'm not very savvy with graphics. The only driver versions apt-get allows to install are <=535, which return a "3D Accelerator card not supported" error when running a game.

Steps to reproduce (if you know): WoW was working alright two days ago, but after upgrading to nvidia 560, it crashes after 10mins of normal smooth gameplay and then casting something with complex visuals like a spell or any attack, always at such specific moment.

Other Notes: My laptop is a HP ENVY m7 Notebook with Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS x86_64 kernel: 6.9.3-76060903-generic bash 5.1.16 GNOME 42.9 CPU: Intel i7-7500U (4) @ 3.500GHz GPU: Intel HD Graphics 620 GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 940MX (v 560.35.03) Memory: 16GB Graphics Mode: Hybrid (tested on Nvidia too)

As a workaround, try the -server versions from the Ubuntu repos. 

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-550-server

Will give it a shot and update. Curiously enough, in World of Warcraft, doing a Delve (for those who don't play, it's new content akin as to what old-school dungeons were), I can only play for like 15 minutes before it crashes. However, I tested 560 further, and it seems it is stable when you're anywhere else but in combat. I even managed to kill 1 raid boss after 45mins of managing my Auction House normally in Dorongal, but then it crashed right after attacking the first small enemies following the boss' death. It seems like the crash happens after probably loading a chunk of spells, caching them or something, I'm not sure. Maybe this can help narrow the cause, I hope

Update: Got the "3D Accelerator card not supported" error with driver-server 550.90.7 :(

I have a similar issue, several games are freezing my system on launch. The only workaround is to be tabbed-out while the game reaches its main menu, then tab back in.

This is an issue for me too, only in Hybrid Mode on my Optimus laptop.

Switching to Nvidia fixes it, which isn't ideal.

This is also happens with arch linux
