MangoHud freezes Vulkan applications with nVidia 550.78

[VortexAcherontic]

Describe the bug
As of today (yesterday everything was fine) all of the sudden MangoHUD freezes Vulkan based applications. Either when opening them up or closing them down.
I tested it with GZDoom using it's Vulkan backend. Which can be run just fine with MangoHUD enabled until you close it. Other apps like games using DXVK, Godot 4 will freeze right at the start as soon as the game window pops open.

Edit: Found out this happens only on Wayland. Running Gnome 46 in X11 does not cause the freezes. Switching to Gnome 46 Wayland does.

Disabling MangoHUD restored all Vulkan apps.

What changed is that my distribution updated the nvidia driver package to 550.78

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Update nvidia driver to 550.78
2. Run Gnome 46 in Wayland mode
3. Enable MangoHUD
4. Open up any Vulkan application
5. Some freeze right away some later upon exiting

Expected behavior
Vulkan apps not to freeze

Additional context
It might be worth mentioning I run everything from flatpak. MangoHUD, GZDoom etc.
Verified all flatpak runtimes are up-to-date as well.

I'll give the git version a try, I'll let you know if this fixes my issue

I just tried with a build from the git version, but I still have the problem of my game just completely freezing before even rendering anything.

This is what my screen looks like after trying to start any game with mangohud enabled

I also have this issue with Baldur's gate 2 enhanced edition, running with proton, without enabling the alternative rendering mode, which should mean it's using opengl and not vulkan (unless proton does something i'm not aware of). Mangohud does seem to at least load data before the game freezes, but I don't know if that has anything to do with the issue.

Please let me know if you need anything else to figure out the issue
