All games crash immediately when selecting Vulkan renderer. OpenGL works OK.

It's possible that your GPU doesn't support Vulkan or in the case of MacOS, MoltenVK. Run the Vkdiag tool to make sure Vulkan is available on your hardware.

Unlikely that Vulkan isn't available, an error message would display stating the GPU is incapable. The log doesn't show any issues, so you might just be limited to OpenGL for some reason
