Well, I'm in a serious pickle now, story of my life!
I've been running on the Nvidia 555 driver forever, so long, you can't even find it in the list anymore, and only proof I have, is a screenshot.
Doom The Dark Ages no longer even detects my GPU now.
Unfortunately, I'm in the same predicament as other gamers, who wish to play Doom The Dark Ages, but it requires the 576.40 driver, which can't be found in the list at all.
I updated to Nvidia 580 driver, and while I got into the OS alright, (no black screens) Nvidia X Server Settings app shows I'm using the Nvidia 580 proprietary driver, and additional drivers confirms that, not a single game launches on Steam Flatpak anymore!
I tried to downgrade to the 570 driver, same exact issue was present. So I tried downgrading to the 550 driver, its close enough to what I had before, I figured it would work. Nope, still games do not launch. I am royally screwed, and I don't know how to fix this.
I've purged Nvidia using terminal command on Google AI, and I reinstalled drivers via terminal as well, nothing I do works. Upgrading to 580 initially by additional drivers, ruined my ability to game. I need help, I don't know what to do anymore.
This situation does not help my state of mind, during my stroke recovery, and all this has done, is up my blood pressure.
You already know I'm on Zorin OS 16.3 with the 5.15 kernel. And you should know I run on X11, which is I think the only thing OS 16 even uses. And you already know I have a high performance notebook, not that is saves me from my own stupidity.
Wished I never bought the game now!
