The game Counter-Strike 2 works well only with the nvidia-535xx driver. All other drivers such as nvidia or nvidia-beta.

In this case Nvidia Beta: (inxi -G)

Counter-Strike 2 with nvidia or nvidia-beta or earlier drivers up to version 535 starts to work with freezes.

At the same time, up to and including version 535 (nvidia-535xx-dkms), everything works well!

As I can see you are using Wayland compositor. Current proprietary NVIDIA modules to work more properly on Wayland need modeset. But for some reason you need to pass it manually to your kernel on boot. You have more information about that on ArchWiki.

Add nvidia_drm.modeset=1 to your kernel parameters. Then on working system check if you passed this parameter correctly by using this command cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset. It should output Y. If not, then you didn't enabled modeset properly.

I use nvidia-drm.modeset=1 in this case. It is added to the GRUB bootloader, which means it boots faster than the kernel. And yes, the command sudo cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset answers Y.
