Issues with Vulkan and my PC is freezing

Hello.

I’m a newbie to this forum and I couldn’t find a solution to this

I’ve encountered the problem that my Arch system is running down below the usual refresh rate. Also I can’t get Vulkaninfo to work at some point. I think my drivers are up-to-date, but something is really wrong.

Here it is:

vulkaninfo
WARNING: [Loader Message] Code 0 : terminator_CreateInstance: Received return code -3 from call to vkCreateInstance in ICD /usr/lib/amdvlk64.so. Skipping this driver.
amdgpu: DRM version is 3.40.0, but this driver is only compatible with 3.42.0 (kernel 5.15+) or later.

Any input is appreciated :slight_smile:

maybe this is the reason?:

you are using the 5.10 kernel, and you need a newer one… so install the 5.15 and also the 6.1, reboot, and test with both of them…
and you dont have nvidia, so why the nvidia output?

oh yeah, you’re right. It worked like a charm.
Maybe I should observe the output more intently next time… Thank you, nevertheless!
