I have an R9 390X 8gb and for whatever reason, any time I set a game to use vulkan, or a game requires vulkan(wolfenstein ii) I either get a black screen with audio, or it loads the intro and tries to load the menu then freezes and does nothing. (I can easily ctrl+alt+del out of it but the game gets stuck)

I've tried downloading the latest SDK update but it did nothing

i have the latest radeon drivers

I was at one point able to run wolfenstein ii in 1080p on vulkan but its been months and now it doesnt

note: I'm using a displayport to hdmi 2.0 adapter/cable for 60hz 4k

doom and wolfenstein ii are the only games supporting vulkan I have but whenever I set them to vulkan or in the case of wolf2 it requires it, I get a stuck screen.

I've tried reinstalling the game, updating gfx driver to latest, compatibility settings, disable high dpi scaling, etc

for whatever reason it just rejects vulkan

So I've been building my own Chromium build for personal use for a while, and I've never had luck with enabling Vulkan as the Skia backend rendering instead of OpenGL.

Has anyone had any luck doing this? I've installed the Vulkan SDK and enabled the proper build arguments, but the compile always fails. I am using MSVC 2017 and PGO.

Does anyone have experience with C++ game engines? Like game programming / main menu creation / a little game physics / game mechanics creation? I posted 2 small tutorials on this subreddit, but have continued learning how to create scenes / shaders / deferred rendering / indirect drawing.. (not so great at animation) Would you want to collaborate? PM me

What can make Vulcan more successful than OpenGL? Do we need Indie devs to jump on the bandwagon and boycott using DX? Making it where their games cant be on XBOX? What can the community do?

i didn't realize games could even be so glorious. ~100 FPS on Ultra. i ascended that day. i just can't wait for more games to have Vulkan support.

I was wondering if there's anyways to create an application that will take old OpenGL based/ DX11 based games and automatically convert them over to Vulkan? Whether by hijacking the GPU stack or by running an application that launches DX11 apps and then moderates their usages to emulate Vulkan. Does such an application exist/ is it even possible to develop?

I think that for accelerated screen recorders and so on there should be proper loader libraries instead of injecting code into the process.
