I updated my nvidia driver to 570 and now some games that worked fine previously present the error: direct x 12 is unsupported on this computer.

I see lots of others having this same issue but no solutions.

Has anybody figured out a fix?

I’m on Fedora so there doesn’t seem to be any straightforward way to rollback the driver.

    550+ has Explicit Sync, which indeed causes a variety of issues still. Newer versions does bring things like multi monitor VRR, increased performance in VR and Wayland hardware cursors (and probably more).

    DX12 support is usually handled through VKD3D, which has an open issue on the latest Nvidia driver. The ticket suggests you have to run at least Kernel version 6.9.3.

    Rolling back the driver version would probably be through downgrade together with nvidia-utils and lib32-nvidia-utils, you can chain them in one command to satisfy the dependency resolver. e.g. sudo downgrade nvidia nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils. Make sure to check if you run nvidia or nvidia-dkms.
