Thanks, but honestly, I don't really have the enthusiasm to make a patch for the new drivers right now.

NVIDIA just AI-slopped them out, and it feels like they keep adding new bugs instead of improving stability.
People on Reddit don't even want to install the latest driver right away anymore. It's always 'Did anyone test this? Is this fixed or did it just break?' or 'Let's just wait for the hotfix driver' and 'NVIDIA XXX.XX is giving me problems,' etc (I even experienced it myself).

I guess I'll do it later when I have some time.

PS: NVIDIA’s current support matrix lists 12 concurrent NVENC sessions for most encoding-capable GeForce GPUs, including Maxwell, Pascal, Turing, Ampere, Ada, and Blackwell. Professional RTX/Quadro models are generally marked “Unrestricted.” (but maybe some of you want more than 12 i guess?)

Well, according to the website, my 3060 should be able to handle 23 or so simultaneous with your patches. Is it difficult or complex to make these? If I knew what I was doing I would help but I am not a coder and I apologize in advance.

Hey boss, appreciate your work.

Well, let's just AI-slop these patches as well, captain. I know this isn't the better solution, but, well...

To be pretty much honest, I've used the patch not because of the concurrent sessions, but because it somehow fixed lags with Sunshine/Moonlight combo, OBS and FFmpeg work with drivers without it. Maybe it is the time for us to reverse engineer NVIDIA drivers and produce our open-source megazord as we're at this point of GPUpocalipse.

Anyway, your work is the real deal and you've helped me a lot. Many thanks
