Description:
After switching Distribution (about two months ago) I weren't able to install most windows games, since the installation gets stuck at "Finalizing" without any sign of progress. If I then press the pause button of the installation, the game shows the normal "Play" button. If I try to launch the games, they all get stuck in "Launching".
I've noticed, that, if I uninstall the Nvidia drivers, the installation works fine, but the games won't start with the Nvidia drivers re-enabled. Instead, most of them say they were running, but no window shows up; even after multiple minutes.
The issue effects multiple games, which are steam-deck verified or which ran fine on other systems with the same hardware and the same beta enabled.
The problem doesn't effect native games.
