Scrambled graphics (lemmy.world)

Hi!

I posted this on reddit and then saw that kde has a lemmy presence, so I am posting it here also, since I vastly prefer lemmy over reddit.:

Sorry if this isn't the right place, but I have no idea where else to ask, I tried asking at discuss.kde.org but got no answers.

I am using Arch with KDE Plasma and an Nvidia GPU, when I play Steam games almost all of them work flawlessly but...

When I try to play older games (like Shadowrun Hong Kong or the rereleases of Sims 1 and 2, or Civ 4 or 5), the graphics are all scrambled like this:

Scrambled

The funny thing is, this is a photo of my screen, if I use Steam to take a screenshot it shows up normally in the screenshot folder...

As it only happens on old games I am thinking those do something different than newer games, it doesn't matter what proton version I use and it only seems to happen under plasma.

Any help would be appreciated!

What nvidia driver version do you have. What proton version are you using. Have you tried ge-proton? Have you tried the native version of civ 5 if so do you get the same issue?
