In trying to run the latest nightly on SteamOS on the Steam Deck. It works beautifully…but RA crashes when I choose Vulkan as a renderer. I know the SD is 100% compatible with Vulkan because I use it with my Steam games and other native Linux emus.
Any ideas?
IIRC, there’s some kind of issue with vulkan+appimage+steam deck. That is, vulkan+appimage works fine here on my ubuntu laptop, but others have reported crashing on Steam Deck.
Hmm odd. So after googling this further and reading some stuff, I wonder if the Vulkan driver on SteamOS is located in another area rather than a typical Linux install. RA can’t find it so it crashes.
Oh, right, I keep forgetting the key issue here is actually the libwayland that’s included in the appimage bundle: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/13714
I’m not sure if you can remove it easily, but if so, that should get it going, I think.
