After updating yesterday every time I try to play a video on mpv (mpv-full-0.33 from AUR) with the -gpu-api=vulkan command it drops frames a lot (even more than before) but that’s not the main problem, the elephant in the room is that every time it drops frames inserts black frames, flickers I don’t…

after a long time I have finally found the solution export ANV_QUEUE_THREAD_DISABLE=1 , this fixes the mpv vulkan issues and also fixes some vk error device lost on intel gpus.

Mpv not working well with vulkan api on gnome wayland after update

I imagine you receive the same output running vulkaninfo (provided by vulkan-tools)?

Please post your system info as outlined here:

…and the output of:

pamac search --installed vulkan
