When Starfield came out there was an nvidia driver thing that didn’t work correctly in Linux but worked correctly in Windows, I can’t even remember what exactly it was. This wasn’t a proton, wine or bethesda thing, this was actually on nvidia’s end. I waited months and months and months for a fix, the one guy working on it would reassure everyone in the forums it would get fixed “soon”. I ended up getting an amd card instead. Having half decent drivers fixed a few other random issues too.

Legend has it that they’re still “trying” to fix that one driver bug.
