[BUG] Vulkan compatibility is broken

Open luckybear97 opened this issue 7 months ago • 0 comments

Describe the bug

Following the steps below to install a working (but not Vulkan) WSA build with KernelSU, everything else works fine (at the very least of my current usage).

Every single run of an app that require Vulkan api would result to this crash

However, geekbench can detect it correctly

what this broken compatibility means? Any 3D or graphic apps that require Vulkan to work would result to an instant crash (with errors), and if Vulkan support is turned off in the WSA settings, it would result into purple screen (incompatible graphics)

Steps to reproduce the issue

POSSIBLE FIX

Someone has a working fix for this issue, but they just commented a link to their youtube video here lol. I followed it and its actually working.

Steps to replicate:

Note: Uninstall WSA first if installed on your PC

  1. Download ALL the following builds: Build#1 WSA_2407.40000.4.0_x64_Release-Nightly-with-magisk-29.0.29000.-stable-NoGApps-NoAmazon.7z Build#2 WSA_2407.40000.4.0_x64_Release-Nightly-with-KernelSU-v1.0.5-MindTheGapps-13.0-RemovedAmazon.7z
  2. Extract Build#1 and rename folder to WSA_OG
  3. Install Run.bat as admin
  4. After installing check the following: 4a. Magisk is installed 4b. Turn these ON and Vulkan Driver

Copy ALL files from Build#2 folder and Paste to WSA_OG folder 7b. Install Run.bat in WSA_OG folder 7c. Ignore errors and restart PC 8. after restart, install Run.bat from WSA_OG folder again.

This should open GApps without crashing and is working.

Note: There is a full video tutorial for this on their yt -> @DevilsDebug

Note++: Avoid downloading files from the youtube video, use official links only.
