Omega Strikers crashes Nvidia proprietary drivers
Frixuu Jun 2, 2023
Hi, I'm new to Linux gaming.

This is a fresh Arch install (kernel 6.3.5, drivers 530.41.03, KDE Plasma on Xorg). I'm trying to play Omega Strikers via Steam. While the game seems to launch to main menu fine, it can crash later on - the most consistent way for me to trigger it is to go to the cosmetic store and preview goal effects.

This happens no matter my Proton version (7, 8, experimental, -GE) nor shader precache setting. What else can I try?

Lower gfx settings to min and if it stops crashing put them up one by one to see which causes the crash.
