Vulkan will not work at all

[donalddoyson]

Hello all, I am a new manjaro and forum user so i apologize if I am doing something wrong but here is my problem. Vulkan will outright not work.

So what I have done is installed every vulkan package from AUR/octopi, used terminal to install the packages, followed every online guide , but vulkan will not work. I have every package installed, yet vulkan will not work and i know it doesnt work because when I try to run dota 2 with -vulkan it gives me the failed to initialize vulkan error but when i run in -gl opengl mode it works just fine.

anyone who can help please reply to this thread as I am desperate for help to get vulkan up and running.

Hi, you’ve not given any useful information to work with. I have a good idea what’s wrong with your system, but that’s only because I checked your GPU in your profile Please have a read of the link below.

How to provide good information in your posts

When asking questions in the forum, it would be most helpful to all members if you provide some basic information. When you provide info from the terminal, usually from your logs, you have to format it so the content is easy to read. First copy and paste your text/terminal/code into the post Then select the text/code and click the post edit toolbar button </> . Another handy way is to use 3 backticks ` at the start and 3 more at the end of the text like this: ``` Paste text or code here …

Also I suspect if you type:

sudo pacman -Syu amdgpu-experimental vulkan-radeon lib32-vulkan-radeon

Then reboot your system you should be able to run vulkan just fine.

If you feel like giving the very latest AMDVLK a try, look here...
