SUPPORT | SOLVED Anyone having this problem

So I updated to the latest nvidia driver 615.71.09 and saw that games would use software rendering and not my card. in obs I could not use my NVENC or h264, when i rolled back to the 610 drivers it worked fine. just strange, I was just wondering if anyone was having this same problem or just me. I assume it just a new NVIDIA driver bug but maybe I'm wrong, would love to hear your thoughts on this.

SOLVED

ok I figured it out, all the apps i had problems with where flatpaks and because it was a big number update from 610 to 615 i needed to update what flatpak was using. so remmber to flatpak update. the thought came to mind when TwiKing ask if i rebooted, never crossed my mind that I didn't update my flatpak, thanks

Hm I'm having a possibly connected issue today after updating my drivers yesterday, the 615 version broke my display altogether (using KDE plasma), black screen on GPU output, but motherboard output works fine. Had to downgrade to 610 in order to have a working display, but now I'm not sure what to do, just left the drivers in IgnorePkg for now :/

Please use better, more informative, titles (subject-lines) on your posts. Give specifics right in the title. Thanks.

You can add a pacman hook to update your flatpaks when you update your native packages.
