Sodium is causing an error with my Nividia graphics card

When I launched minecraft with sodium installed on the latest update (0.4.7), I got a notification telling me to restart my game. because the version of sodium I was on was not compatible with my Nividia Geforce GTX 1650 graphics driver. It said that It would hide sodium's version from the graphics card. So when I restarted Minecraft. There at the top in brackets, It says version hidden. Does anyone know of a solution to this?

Edit:
I downgraded to the previous sodium version (0.4.6) and that fixed the issue. But If I try using the new version (0.4.7) I get the same error again.

This is not an error, this is an intentional workaround for the Sodium crashes introduced by the latest Nvidia drivers.
See #1486

I have never experienced crashes with any previous sodium versions. So this 'workaround' is more of hinderment that something helpful. I have also noticed that after the version is hidden from the driver, my games performance is decreased.

I have Nvidia drivers version 516.94 and it still gave me this error. Which is pretty weird, since at issue #1486 it is said that driver 526.47 or later has the issues the workaround is intended for..

commented

My version is 1650 and my game has never crashed because of the sodium mod. So this workaround is quite pointless for me because it seems to only effect older drivers.

We released Sodium 0.4.8 which improves the driver detection and manages to workaround the problem without the need for a pop-up window or game restart. It's much more complicated under the hood and took a lot of time to get right, but it's less annoying for users now.

However, it does not change which users will receive this workaround, and you still cannot disable the workaround via the in-game settings. If you must disable it for whatever reason, which we really don't encourage you to do, you can modify the sodium-mixins.properties file in your config directory, and add the following line.
