I don't have much confidence that this is a VKD3D-Proton problem but I want to ask.

Today, Cyberpunk suddenly stopped running, and consistently crashes inside the nvidia driver. Everything worked yesterday, and I have verified that no relevant system level packages updates took place since the last time I ran the game. This is the same nvidia driver, kernel, mesa, etc that worked yesterday.

I have tried all the following:

  • Completely reinstalled the game with a clean prefix
  • Tried hiding the nvidia gpu
  • Disabled all vulkan layers except the ones bundled with the nvidia driver
  • Tried Proton experimental, 10-3 and GE-Proton10-25. All with the same results.

I am at a loss.

Well, I tried out Proton-Experimental Bleeding-Edge and it worked again. Maybe the 2025-11-26 Proton Experimental wasn't installed until after I last played the game yesterday or something like that. I will report on the Proton issues.
