Proton 8 and up not working with Nvidia? (lemm.ee)

Hello! I've tried a bunch of games but they're just not able to start on proton/wine/GE proton version 8 and up. If I switch back to proton 7 they're working fine. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have a solution. Also softwares that don't require GPU work fine too with version 8.

Could it be that I have an older GPU? It's an MX 130. I haven't been able to run any versions 8 and up in any wine variant.

Sorry, no idea... I don't know anything about that gpu, never heard of it.

It's a laptop GPU from 2017.

Are you sure you are using the nvidia GPU? If your laptop has an iGPU i could be defaulting to running on that.

Yes I'm quite sure. I have a kde widget for it. It kicks up when I'm playing games.

As in a GeForce MX 130? That's from 2017, which is elderly by computer hardware standards, but I'm not aware of a specific reason why it wouldn't work. It supports DirectX 12, at least

Yup that's the one.
