[Solved]Can't launch games via Vulkan after nvidia driver update

Hey, I lately needed to update my drivers for davinci-resolve to work.
After updating them, I was not able to launch any games via bottles (in vulkan) anymore.

Games I tried are Sims 4 and Path Of Exile 2, I mostly get errors from missing vulkan stuff. (I'm launching them with bottles)

When I downgrade to the older driver I'm not getting issues anymore (but davinci-resolve will not work)

Here is my vulkaninfo: https://pastebin.com/PwPYmmrJ

Error when starting Path of Exile:

```
fsync: up and running.

00e0:err:kerberos:kerberos_LsaApInitializePackage no Kerberos support, expect problems

info: Game: PathOfExile.exe

info: DXVK: v2.3.1

info: Vulkan: Found vkGetInstanceProcAddr in winevulkan.dll @ 0x6ffffd42d660

info: Built-in extension providers:

info: Win32 WSI

info: OpenVR

info: OpenXR

info: OpenVR: could not open registry key, status 2

info: OpenVR: Failed to locate module

00e0:err:openxr:get_vulkan_extensions Could not create key, status 0x2.

warn: OpenXR: Unable to get required Vulkan instance extensions size

info: Required Vulkan extension VK_KHR_surface not supported

```

I have nvidia dkms on Arch Linux

local/nvidia-dkms 565.77-1

local/nvidia-settings 565.57.01-1

local/nvidia-utils 565.77-1

Please edit your post to use code tags for such output, see https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

You need to reboot after a new driver update on nvidia Also in case the first sentence applies and you really only updated the driver, that would be a partial upgrade don't do those
