Vulkan drivers problem

Issues & Assistance

hello everyone,

I have got a problem running X-Plane, I installed steam wit amdvlk ,
then I get this if starting X-Plane 12:

Any idea what I am missing ?
Help is much appreciated, greetings

This question is perhaps best answered by @Hi-Phile, but does installing the below two drivers help?

sudo pacman -S vulkan-radeon lib32-vulkan-radeon

Hey, installing vulkan-radeon and lib32-vulkan-radeon should fix your problem. You can verify availability of vulkan support on your device by using this command: vulkaninfo, this command is available as a part of vulkan-tools package.

I does appear that the message from X-Plane is saying that it needs or uses the open source Radeon RADV Vulkan driver.

Did this get resolved?

AMDVLK and RADV Vulkan are 2 different drivers.

thanks, I also went along this lines,
additionally, uninstalled intel-ucode and took amd-ucode instead, and reconfigured grub
afterwards,
then my system started also with amd-ucode,
but no change on this issue, yet … also I am wondering why I had intel-ucode installed in
the first place, I have no singele intel hardware : - / : - ) ?

yes seems ok to me:

… not yet resolved, I see

 amdvlk, lib32-amdvlk, xf86-video-amdgpu,
vulkan-radeon, vulkan-headers, vulkan-tools, lib32-vulkan-radeon

installed here. But same error message …

8

now I have it, removed amdvlk and lib32-amdvlk

leaving vulkan-radeon on the systems, and then it ran : - )

thank you all !!!
I give the solved indication to @Hi-Phile ,

because those thoughts led me the right solution

I didn’t do much other than read from the Arch Wiki :sweat_smile:

For Vulkan support, install the vulkan-radeon or amdvlk package. Optionally install the lib32-vulkan-radeon or lib32-amdvlk package for 32-bit application support. ***Prefer vulkan-radeon for running DirectX12 games through Wine/Proton, as amdvlk is broken for this purpose***.

Glad it got sorted.
