Don't download drivers directly from Nvidia and try to install them, it's not like Windows, that'd be a lot of pain. I think there is a tool inside your OS that automatically installed the drivers for you.

I found on a Ubuntu forum there was a auto driver install command which installed a LOT of stuff. I can see a lot more graphical animations inside steam now. But now the game just goes to a black screen and nothing happens. If I alt-tab the screen actually refreshes and I see the game but I can also see the animations are still running incredibly slow

Overall it seems installing the drivers has actually made things worse I'm struggling to even get steam to load now Unless anyone has any ideas, then I just think games in Linux I just not going to work.

I use Manjaro, I stopped using Debian based distros, I find Arch based much better

Think this is what I ran "sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" for future me

This is how it ran before





And now





So
There was something going on in the taskbar near the clock, I forget what it said, something about system synchronising or something When it finished everything started to work a lot better

Had to hold the camera to video it so its looking a bit crap. Also could not fire any rockets as ran out of hands, but the effects are a lot better presumably because of a later version of DX ?

Ooh well that's good news

Possibly could be using a newer kind of directx depending on what the game engine supports. In Linux proton converts directx to Vulkan on the fly, it's called dx2vk as far as I know.
