Game freezes 2 minutes into match on CachyOS

Hello,

Since the small update at around 8pm CEST yesterday (03-06-2026), Deadlock freezes on my machine about 3 minutes into a match against real players and about 8 minutes into games against bots. Some small bits of audio will still be present, but the game does not recover. Force closing the game and restarting it makes the game freeze at about the same time after loading in. A resource viewer shows that I never exceed 6gb VRAM out of the 8gb on the GPU.

OS: CachyOS, Kernel 6.18.33-2-cachyos-lts
WM: Kwin (Wayland)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2070 Super

Seems to be issues with CachyOS and the newest Nvidia drivers, you can try this fix to rollback the drivers!
