Last 15.60 4901 Intel drivers with Vulkan 1.0.62 API crashes

Phawx · 02-09-2018, 07:26 AM #1

Hello,

I'm using GPD Win 2, which contains M3-7Y30 and running latest 15.60 (4901) drivers. These drivers have 1.0.62 Vulkan API support, but when using Vulkan backend in Dolphin, games immediately crash.

Is there anything I can provide? Are there logs or dumps that I can submit? I tried searching on Google referencing driver and Vulkan but didn't find anything.

Please advise.

In some cases downloading the Vulkan SDK will fix this issue. Use the link in this thread to download it:

Please report driver bugs to the people who work on the driver (in this case, Intel) - assuming that the loader update (in the vulkan sdk) didn't fix things.

Also, make sure you're installing the drivers from the intel website - the windows update ones are often old, and/or are missing modules (Microsoft want to push DX, so they sometimes "accidentally leave out" other modules... like opengl and vulkan Smile

I've downloaded the SDK and installed. Still crashes.

It looks like Intel is already aware that it crashes on Dolphin as can be seen here:

But the thread is closed. I suppose I could open a new one but it seems like it's already a ticket on their side.

It may not be the same issue - there's any number of things that could happen to cause a crash. It could be they've fixed one, but there's still another, or inadvertently introduced a new issue, or even you are hitting a different issue due to some reason.

Or they've just not fixed that one Smile

But Intel are likely the correct people to inform, if this requires a new thread on their forums I guess that's the correct action...
