Heavy flickering under Wayland

[Sebito]

I'd like to play Factorio on my Linux machine under Wayland. Sadly there is some heavy flickering a.i. the screen having black frames every couple of seconds up to a complete black screen for a couple of seconds.

These are my specs:
Os; Fedora 39 (Kernel 6.7.3)
CPU: Amd Ryzen 1600X
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 1060 6GB (Driver: 545.29.06-3)

I do run the game with V-Sync on a 60Hz monitor.
Not sure if there's something i can do for further troubleshooting.
Any tips or ideas are welcome!

Edit: I did try setting the SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable (and i also have SDL2 installed) but that didn't change anything.

Log is in the comments.

Since you're running an Nvidia card under wayland, you have a whole extra set of potential problems. So it'll be hard to pin down.

Seems about right. Searching for issues in the "open-gpu-kernel-modules" Github repo shows that people are still struggling with flickering issues on basically all driver versions.
I suppose it's not a Factorio issue then.
I've also read somewhere that having multiple screens can cause issues as well which adds another potential cause to the problem...yay
