Launcher black screen from any game - Steam on Linux

[nittalope]

Os: PopOS 21.04
Nvidia graphic card

When I try launching any game from Paradox, and as such I need to use the Paradox Launcher, only a black screen is showed. The launcher is loaded correctly, because I can see that the cursor changes when hovering over a button and I manage to close it (since the close button is top right corner).

Games in which it happens: Imperator Rome, HOI4

I tried to delete the .paradoxlauncher in /home and launcher-v2 folder under .local/share/Paradox Interactive, but no luck there.

Anyone is experiencing the same?

Most likely this issue?

[Launcher 2021.1 Linux] Launcher interface appears completely black when used with NVIDIA Prime Render Offload

My launcher just updated, and the launcher interface appears completely black. It is still functional, but you just can't see everything. You can launch the game, close the launcher etc. just fine if you know where the buttons are. But it is...

Thank you!
That is indeed the issue and the solution is at comment #14. Unfortunately unless that solution is implemented on Paradox side, at every update of the launcher we will have the same problem... or unless Nvidia fix it on their side too, but who knows who's side is the causing the issue?

Anyway... fixed and thank you again, I've been looking for a solution to this in the last 3 days and then post didn't come up in my results, unfortunately...
