[Solved] Cannot use Nvidia web drivers after todays 10.13.6 security update?!

I'm not actually familiar with that tool, only that it aims to do same thing.

I use a diff one to fix the web driver.

https://github.com/vulgo/webdriver.sh

basically just run it with -m
so it modifies currently installed driver to work with currently installed OS build. it automatically changes build number, updates permissions and updates kext cache then you just reboot and it just works.

People using nvidia drivers should pretty much be used to this process at this point, cause we've had to do it for just about every update since 10.11.x when we update to new OS version (including security updates), before a new web driver is released

Same here, ran the script, the script patched and installed, restarted the pc and everything is just as bad

The only difference is that the Nvidia Driver Manager has the checkmark in front of NVIDIA Web Driver, but it acts the exact same way as if the OS X Default Graphics Driver were selected.

I reverted back to my cloned disk for now. Lets hope the driver get updated soon.

You might even just be able to add ngfxcompat=1 boot arg if using whatevergreen

Thank You very much !!! It works fine for me ! You've saved me ;-)

@iknimaya The script doesn’t flush kext cache, you can do this manually and then reboot and see if it solves. This worked for me.

sudo kextcache -i / && sudo kextcache -u /

Thanks, this did the trick for me, everything works perfectly again

I guess that's the difference from the script BreBo posted and the one MysticalOS posted!

I use that to flush kext
kextcache -update-volume /System/Library/Extensions
It works for me

Thanks this worked! I had to turn off my SIP to be able to load the kexts though.
But it's working again now! Good enough until Nvidia update their drivers.
