I have a problem with Borderlands 2 and Portal. If I run native version game crashes soon after launching. If I run Windows version with Proton game doeasn't launch at all. I tried solutions from ProtonDB but none of them worked. I'm new to Linux gaming so I'm not sure what to do.

I have Intel i9 11th generation CPU, Nvidia 1650 GPU and 16GB RAM.

Fix: I installed lib32-nvidia-utils. Now I can run native version of Portal and Windows version of Borderlands 2 with Proton 7.0-6 (haven't tried other versions of Proton).

What driver and version are you using? Wayland or X11? Is VRR enabled?

I'm using X11 and closed source Nvidia driver. I'll check driver version and VRR when I return home.

You have a 16xx series card, Proton 8+ have a problem with these cards (thanks to Nvidia), so switch to an older Proton version like Proton 7, should work.

Hmm, in that case you might need 32-bit libraries some other user mentioned here.

My driver version is 550.67 and VRR is enabled.

You could try 545 or 535 series drivers. Stability can vary greatly between card model, driver, compositor and kernel version.
