With 545.29.06 most of the regressions of 545 series got fixed. We pushed that one to our stable branch as there were no issues reported in testing and unstable branches regarding that driver. However, it seems now they pop up in stable branch.
So let us know if you have any and also check your dmesg and lsmod plus modprobe nvidia before posting …
i don’t notice any difference with the new driver.
i had a weird glitch in steam were i was getting a black screen when starting a game,
so i switched from proton 8.0.4 to experimental and back again.
also suddenly there was a “Cyberpunk” update and now all is as usual.
i started get this error/message but apparently that’s not an issue: kernel: NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 545.29.06
Also,since Nvidia recommends 535 as the current production/stable driver here: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/current-graphics-driver-releases/28500
I believe it would be great for manjaro to allow the user to select the driver version that works best for them, or to perhaps downgrade to 535 until the last bugs have been ironed out.
Also, is there anyone waiting for better stability that is waiting before updating and therefore not replying to the pool vote?
Well, we had for each Nvidia driver a package and the user had to select which driver he wanted. It also meant that a user had to update the driver and was more or less “stuck” on a driver series if not doing that. Each series got updated until Nvidia dropped a series.
Then most users wanted the rolling Nvidia driver back, which had some benefits but also some regressions. Drivers in general is always something …
I am also experiencing various issues related to version 545.
My window flickers during all glmark2 tests except the first one ([build] use-vbo=false).
I have encountered very similar problems in Minecraft, making the game unplayable. Enabling vertical synchronization in the game slightly improves the situation, but does not fix it completely due to small inconsistencies between fps and monitor frequency. Enabling/disabling VBO in the game settings does not fix the problem.
I am also experiencing problems in Unigine Superposition, with black lines and a flickering screen that seems like sync issues. The same problem occurs in the Sea Of Thieves game, even in the main menu.
I have been trying to roll back the driver version to 535 for the last ~15 days, but have been unsuccessful. Unfortunately, I did not notice the problems in the games right away, and the timeshift snapshot has already been overwritten by other updates.
I attempted to use the following command, but my GNOME session does not start with it: sudo manjaro-downgrade --cached-only linux66-nvidia nvidia-settings lib32-nvidia-utils nvidia-utils mhwd-nvidia libxnvctrl
Adding linux66 and linux66-headers to the above command and/or removing the drivers in mhwd before the command also does not help.
I understand that I could possibly roll back the version using nvidia-535xx-dkms from AUR, but I am afraid of the compatibility issues with Manjaro and potential problems with future updates.
As a result, I have reverted back to version 545, because version 470 in mhwd adds other problems (GNOME animations don’t work).
Could you please add an option to select version 535 in mhwd or provide a working method to roll back the version? Thank you.
I have had similar problems in various games for a month now, since nvidia 545 driver came out.
Mostly flickering and black lines on screen too. I haven’t found a proper way to rollback to nvidia-535xx and I’m hoping to find a solution for this lasting and uncomfortable situation.
Having a option to select previous drivers versions would be great, and prevent users to be stuck with glitchy drivers in the future too.
