Does it implement explicit sync for Wayland to fix flickering?

[–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is that what that is? I had to downgrade my driver to stop the flicker

Yeah, window managers like KWin have to implement it as well as NVIDIA in their driver. Currently, everyone is waiting for driver support before merging the (mostly finished) feature into master.

Oh so that's why xwayland apps stutter so horribly

[–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is that caused by the update though? It works fine when I downgrade my driver

[–] Berny23 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

NVIDIA broke something on every version after 535.

My screen randomly turns to black for 2 seconds when I play Hunt. 🙁
