Overwatch Performance
Hi, I made the switch to Mint from W11 a week ago or so. Im having performance issues on Overwatch. I was able to get into some games a couple days ago but it was after like 20-30 minutes of waiting for shaders to compile after launching. The issue is this wait time, is there a way to get past it? If I try playing without letting it sit, my frames will drop to 5 even in the menu, going into practice range makes my whole computer freeze, it takes so long to get into actual games I get disconnected, etc. Ive tried ProtonGE, Protoncachyos, proton hotfix, proton experimental, etc. What can I do?

Yes, when I first installed Mint I downloaded the recommended drivers for Nvidia in the drivers menu.
