Yes, I am aware of the fact there’s an issue for this already. But that’s for Windows only. I’m running Linux, and so I don’t have Device Manager. Switching the driver to Vulkan and rebooting RetroArch entirely breaks the frontend. It won’t open at all. (I have checked that I’m running Vulkan.)
Can you run it from a command line with the --verbose flag? That’ll print log/status info to the console so you can see what’s going wrong.
This is what the error log says.
Looks like your vulkan driver is missing a bunch of stuff. Perhaps you need to update your mesa libs?
Which distro are you using ? How did you install RA ?
Please provide the output of vulkaninfo (which comes from vulkan-tools package).
Thank you.
Just updated my drivers yesterday (command was ujust update, and a quick Google search shows that updates Vulkan too) and it doesn’t open…
I’m using Bazzite OS and installed RA from here, specifically the QT version of the Linux AppImage.
vulkaninfo output is here. Hope this stuff helps!!!
Thank you.
If you are using AMD GPU, your issue might b related to this one or this one if you are using AppImage (not QT).
I should have asked vulkaninfo --summary
Can you try to compile your own version running ?
cd ~/Downloads
git clone https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch.git
cd RetroArch
./configure --enable-vulkan --enable-wayland --enable-qt && make -j$(nproc)
# Launch
./retroarch
# If you want to install on your system
sudo make install
vulkaninfo --summary outputs this.
I tried compiling from source and after running
./configure --enable-vulkan --enable-wayland --enable-qt && make -j$(nproc)
it gave me this.
Also, I’m running Bazzite OS on a Geekom A5 Pro, if it helps.
If you don’t need QT just use ./configure --enable-vulkan --enable-wayland && make -j$(nproc) otherwise install QT6 package.
