I have the latest drivers available in the Ubuntu graphics-drivers PPA. I'm not sure if there's newer ones available directly from NVIDIA.
I was doing some reading, and I think it may be related to the launcher's upgrade to the latest Chromium. The latest Chromium is having the same black screen issues when hardware acceleration is turned on and it is run through offloading to a discrete GPU in a dual-GPU system. I also tried switching my system from On-demand mode to NVIDIA-only mode, and the launcher doesn't show this symptom - everything works as it should in that configuration. So, it seems it's only when using PRIME On-demand mode and offloading to the discrete GPU, and not when using the discrete GPU full-time. Although this is an ok workaround (it just requires me to select a setting in the nvidia-applet and do a logout/login), it's still not ideal.
@Czarek-Mojang That sounds reasonable. I'm looking forward to the update!
@Fabian Röling I don't think the feature is released yet, so it won't work with the current launcher. When the new fixed launcher is released, assuming your problem is the same as mine, then you won't need to define the DRI_PRIME or __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD variables yourself, as PRIME and the prime-run command alias should do that for you.
