New kernel and new problems w/ nVidia driver..

Hi all!

Since last update to new kernel (2.6.30-ARCH) I have problem w/ my 8800 GTX. I`m a WoW player and I cant start the game..

What i to do:

pacman -Syu
reboot system
start WoW by execute wine Wow.exe -opengl (this command in link on my desktop)

After this I see black screen and hear sound or simply WoW-error and the game stop. I tried google and this forum but cant get any answers.

If I try start WoW from console I see this wine error:

Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 185.18.29,
but this NVIDIA driver component has version 185.18.14.  Please make
sure that the kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components
have the same version.

My pacman -Q:

pacman -Q | grep nvidia
lib32-nvidia-utils 185.18.14-1
nvidia 185.18.29-1
nvidia-utils 185.18.29-1

Can anyone help to solve this problem?

wait your mirror the be sync and upgrade your system. currently the nvidia version is on 185.18.31 and all of them are updated to that version

Ouh!

Thanks a lot! I add some servers for pacman and now downloading new versions..
I use Arch about year and this is first problem that I cant solve solo.
After update and reboot I`ll show results.
