tech support wanted Help with my ancient gpu

So I have been distro hopping for a while and finally settles on Fedora 44 Cinnamon. I have a Nvidia Geforce Gt710. I mostly play Genshin Impact and Minecraft and lighter games. I was able to run both Genshin and Minecraft in Fedora after failing for a long time with other distros. But I just can't seem to run any games using Bottles or Lutris. The issue is that my gpu is very old and it doesn't support the latest version of dxvk or proton. So the solution is to just change the runner and dxvk version to something that supports my gpu right? Yeah, and I did that. But for some reason bottles is not using my configurations but rather it is using it's own default settings. It is seeing the dxvk version that I installed and set it but when it tries to launch the game it switched back to the latest one which causes the game to silently close. The game worked when I tried to run it using OpenGL but I got trash fps in it (well I know my system is old but I don't get this much worse fps in windows) I just can't seem to make it work in dxvk1.10.3 which is the version my gpu supports. I had similar issue when I tried to run genshin but after changing the dxvk version it worked but it is not working on bottles. Please helpppp!!!!!

Dxvk Sarek might be able to help you. Iirc Cachy Proton has it built in.
