Really annoying that Invidious does this too. Even if I set it to 1080p in the first video, it sets it back to auto resolution in subsequent videos.

It’s definitely not Dr. House. You can tell by his face that he’s actually willing to listen to what others have to say

I believe there was a miscommunication from my side. The performance degradation is enough to make the gaming experience laggy and slow, but does not make the game virtually unplayable.

I don’t think this should be the fault of drivers. If that were the case, I would have noticed a similar degradation other parts of my OS, which I have not observed in any degree.

I reckon this is the fault of the other inbuilt wine executable proton-cachyos I was using earlier before switching to wine-cachyos.

In either case, this situation doesn’t matter since after I switched to wine-cachyos, the games suffering from the degradation went back to being smooth and responsive as before. It could only mean that the issue is purely software-oriented.
