I exchanged my new M5 to 760D and found out that the Sigma lens must be updated because otherwise live view doesn't work.

This is a new one for me.

Not a huge problem as I mostly shoot through viewfinder. Anyway, I was wondering does the lens still do all metering and autofocusing correctly ?

I'd expect so, but test to be sure.

Can anyone tell which metering mode is basically the best one to use for landscape photography? I've tried all ( evaluative, spot, center...) but can't find much difference ?

In general the evaluative is pretty good for landscapes. Would work for 90% of your landscapes or more.
Landscapes tend to fall into the expected scenes, the ones the software in  your camera recognizes and .. ehr .. evaluates.

One step beyond is knowing what the metering modes do and use it accordingly.
For instance: if the subject is lit quite differently from the overall image then spot metering the subject might help.

All in my humble opinion of course!
