Error mounting NTFS drives through Dolphin and ntfs-3g since the latest update

Hi, I am on Arch Linux and after updating udisks to udisks2-2.10.1, I can't corr…ectly mount my NTFS drives. I get the error: "An error occurred while accessing 'Old Seagate 4TB Storage HDD', the system responded: The requested operation has failed: Error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /run/media/raiacad0564/Old Seagate 4TB Storage HDD: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error" Before the update, everything worked as expected and I was able to mount my drives. I also tried downgrading systemd to see if it was the issue and I still had the issue. The only things I saw in the update that may be causing the issue is either udisks (this), libblockdev, or libnvme. Could also be a change conflicting with ntfs-3g. Feel free to correct me if it is one of those other packages.
