Hello !
I’m trying to make my steam games to work but it seems that every time I use vulkan the game crashes.
Doom crashes when I switch from opengl to vulkan and the Witcher 3 can’t launch. Other games that doesn’t use vulkan works well.
I realised that when starting steam I had this error message :
vkCreateInstance failed with error -1
BInit - Unable to initialize Vulkan!
So I checked vulkaninfo and here’s what happened :
~ >>> vulkaninfo
ERROR at /usr/src/debug/vulkan-tools/Vulkan-Tools-1.3.240/vulkaninfo/vulkaninfo.h:676:vkCreateInstance failed with ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY
Looking through internet I’ve found that some others that had the problem had amd vulkan installed instead of nvidia (can’t include the link in ly topic for some reason).
I am using nvidia proprietary drivers with optimus (prime rendering).
Here are all my vulkan things :
~ >>> pacman -Qqs vulkan
dxvk-async
lib32-nvidia-utils
lib32-vkd3d
lib32-vulkan-icd-loader
lib32-vulkan-intel
lib32-vulkan-radeon
nvidia-utils
spirv-tools
vkd3d
vulkan-amdgpu-pro
vulkan-headers
vulkan-icd-loader
vulkan-intel
vulkan-mesa-layers
vulkan-radeon
vulkan-tools
Is that normal that vulkan-radeon, vulkan-amdgpu-pro are installed but not nvidia-vulkan ?
nvidia-utils is installed, by the way.
PS : as you can see I’m not a linux specialist, or a fluent english speaker, sorry if this is annoying.
Thank you very much for your help !
