+# >=1.1.14 enables usage of explicit sync (with >=nvidia-drivers-560
+# and compositors that supports like kwin-6), which currently seems
+# to be causing too many problems ranging from application crashes
+# and potential VRAM leaking (even with the fixes in 1.1.15) and may
+# be better left masked for the time being. It can hwoever solve
+# flicking/stutter issues on some setups so users may want to unmask
+# if heavily affected (bug #937773).
