Vulkan Intialization Error

Post by King Chrome »

I'm trying to run ogre build samples. I don't think my graphics card supports vulkan which is causes this problem. Is there a way start up with dx11?

We run into this issue with someone who had very outdated drivers even though his GPU supported Vulkan.

Anyway, if your HW or driver doesn't support Vulkan, edit the plugins.cfg file and comment the Vulkan plugin (add a # character to the line containing the vulkan plugin)

This a known issue, not supporting Vulkan shouldn't crash the whole engine

I just updated Ogre to skip plugins that failed to load.

This should fix your issue.
