  • Games freeze (Half-Life2, not tried anything else).

Have downgraded to fix. Can’t see any other reports of this, so a bit stumped.

i installed nvidia 535.129.03-1 today, found the package on aur today which seems to be very recent, this driver fix both screen flicker and frame drop on my desktop, so apparently this was the best choice
