is this normal for the poor linux nvidia drivers/proton i have a gtx 1650 i cannot find anything on google so am gonna talk about it on lemmy
I had the exact same issue as you in Apex Legends, and I was able to find a workaround. Basically, nvidia reflex didn’t work with dx11 (DXVK) at all, but forcing the game into dx12 (VKD3D) mode worked without issue.
To enable, you just need to set this in your launch options.
command% -anticheat_settings=SettingsDX12.json
Also, you may need to set the nvapi environmental variable, but I’m pretty sure nvapi is already enabled in proton for Apex Legends.
I recommend using proton experimental as it uses an up-to-date version of dxvk-nvapi
Ape Sex.
Ok jokes asside, which version of proton are you using?
Proton ge
Latest? Have you tried running other versions of proton?
Edi: ignore this comment others seem to have answered.
AFAIK Proton doesn’t support Reflex yet.
It does, you need to enable nvapi through environmental variables
what is the command?
PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1
As of proton 9.0 the environmental variable is now
PROTON_FORCE_NVAPI=1

oh alr ty and do i need to include “%command%” and is it normal that the option to enable reflex is grayed out after including it
Yes, should be PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command%
