[SOLVED] NVIDIA 378.13 problems with Steam games

I'm currently using version 378.13 of the NVIDIA video drivers and tried to play some games on Steam for the first time in about a month. The frame rate on all games, which were previously working the last time I tried, dropped to make the games unplayable, and now Civilization VI now refuses to open. Has anyone else seen issues with the latest NVIDIA drivers? I also have mesa installed, which I'm thinking may be the problem. I'm not exactly sure what the relationship between the NVIDIA and mesa drivers is though.

Any help to get my Steam games back up and running is greatly appreciated.

Re: [SOLVED] NVIDIA 378.13 problems with Steam games

Post console outputs of affected games. And 

pacman -Qs mesa
pacman -Qs nvidia

all in code tags

Re: [SOLVED] NVIDIA 378.13 problems with Steam games

In the Steam client, try using the following in the "Launch options" for the games that have a problem:

__GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=0 %command%

This option for the driver was flipped to being enabled by default in the 378.13 version and might causing problems.

I tried adding this suggested launch option for those games, but it had no noticeable effect.

Re: [SOLVED] NVIDIA 378.13 problems with Steam games

I just updated my system and installed the newest nvidia-lts 378.13-5 package, and now everything runs as it should. Maybe the issue was that nvidia and nvidia-lts were both installed, or they were out of sync.
