Wanted to play Hitman: Blood Money, but after clicking the "Play" button it closes itself.
I installed all needed Nvidia drivers, tried GE-Proton and Experimental Proton, but alas.

I use Hyprland, maybe there is unsolved problem about that.

try anothrt DE like kde plasma which has better nvdia support

#

what does nvdia-smi say?

gray ruin
#

erm it says it has failed cuz it couldn't communicate with the nvidia driver (tho this command gave me all info minutes ago)

vale flax
#

hmm something to do with hyprland-nvdia instability

#

go to tty2
ctrl+alt+f2 then try
nvdia-smi

gray ruin
#

#

or i didn't idk anymore

#

do you have another de?

gray ruin
#

#

install kdeplasma

setting up kde is simpler

#

sudo pacman -S plasma kde-system kde-utilities sddm

#

sudo pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils nvidia-settings
& install the nvdia drivers if you have not~

#

#

vale flax
#

exit hyprland

#

#

then
sudo pacman -Rns nvida undia-utils

#
