Dolhpin force shuts when selecting Vulkan.

[arimail]

Hi all,

I'm a long time user of Dolphin, but new to the community. Nice to be part of it!

I'm using Dolphin 5.0-8757 (I frequently update and use the latest dev-build) and Dolhpin just force closes when I select Vulkan as the graphics backend. I can't do anything – as soon as I click on "Vulkan" in the drop down menu, Dolphin freezes briefly and force shuts.

Any idea what I could do to fix this? I really want the extra speed in my games.

Thanks in advance,
Ari.

May want to try setting up a portable build - add a blank file called portable.txt next to the executable and see if the problem persists.

Hi JMC47,

Thanks for the reply. I added a blank file that I called "portable.txt" in the sam folder as the executable, and there's no change. Dolphin still crashes.

I managed to solve this problem, here's the solution for me:

I installed the latest Vulkan SDK from here: https://vulkan.lunarg.com/
Now it works flawlessly.
