I just updated the sddm package and got the same problem...

GUYS SOLVED!
Uninstall and install the sddm package from the official arch linux repo or downgrade the aur package to a version before 21, I think; then in /lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d/default.conf change DisplayServer=x11 to DisplayServer=wayland then in the [THEME] selection type the name of the current theme's folder in the Current=, in your case Current=Corners. If still doesn't work, try to create a file called sddm.conf in /etc with:

[Theme]
Current=Corners

Replacing sddm-git with sddm works, but since making that change I sometimes get a black screen with cursor for a minute or so after logging in before hyprland starts. Then it will randomly log me back out once or twice after a couple minutes.

Aw, spoke too soon. After rebooting it happened again. Logged me out THREE times.

Can it be this?
Black screen after logout with NVIDIA graphics card
One may encounter a complete black screen or with only cursor/display device logo on it after the logout of any user. This happens because sddm.service starts faster than the NVIDIA drivers. Consider using early KMS

I don't think so because I have all those modules in my mkinitcpio.conf already. Plus it's not when logging out, it's when logging in. Never had this problem before switching from sddm-git to sddm. Thanks though

[UcraNerd]

Sorry, I'm not that of an expert to find a solution, i think it's an nvidia only problem because me and others, that don't have nvidia, don't have this issue. Maybe there are some nvidia linux community forums, so try to ask to someone who might have experienced this problem before, good luck.

Fyi: I think I fixed this. There was another config file that I renamed .backup or whatever and I think it was conflicting, even though the extension wasn't .conf. Since I deleted it (leaving just ONE file in /etc/sddm.conf.d/ ) I haven't had any issues.

broke my head because on a fresh install today i've got: "The theme at "/usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze" requires missing "/usr/bin/sddm-greeter" . Using fallback theme. The login screen was literally a mess

after hours of cleaning caches, reinstalling, linking, fixed with..
sudo apt install sddm-theme-breeze
