Downgrade from Nvidia 375.20 to 370.28

I've recently tried to run Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and it couldn't reach the main menu. Everything worked fine when I was using ubuntu and older nvidia drivers so I've decided to write to Feral Interactive and they told me to downgrade my nvidia drivers to 370.28. I've read on arch wiki that I can use for example package named downgrader or downgrade (both give the same output), but when I choose 370.28 package I get warning that program can't resolve nvidia-utils=370.28. Fix for current drivers will come out mid December according to what nvidia devs said so I decided to ask here how can I fix that problem. Thank you in advance.

Re: Downgrade from Nvidia 375.20 to 370.28

The nvidia-370.28 packages were built for 4.7/4.8 kernels, so I would advise against downgrading to that. Instead, I suggest installing the equivalent* nvidia-dkms package. Remember to install the same version of nvidia-utils and nvidia-libgl packages, as well as their lib32- equivalents.

The packages are all available on the ALA.

*Or newer. 375.10 works for me.
