Ubuntu Version: 25.10 (pretty sure it applies to 26.04 as well, and might apply to 24.04 if 590 driver is recommended)
Problem: The NVIDIA 590 open kernel module (not sure about the proprietary variant) causes an unrecoverable freeze in Unreal Engine 5 titles. When the issue occurs, the game freezes completely (sometimes followed by a crash). In some games, the issue appears to be triggered by hardware ray tracing; when hardware RT is disabled, the game works fine.
In my opinion, it should not be the recommended driver at this time, at least until this issue is resolved.
