#Godot projects only open/run sometimes

I've had a project on Forward+ for a long time now but only recently the project stopped opening correctly. There's like a 10% chance it will open and when open it also doens't run most of the time. I don't have this problem in Compatibility mode but i'd like to have my projects on Forward+ since that's what I've used until now. I've tried all stable 4.x.x godot versions and the problem remains. I enabled verbose(?) debugging and the console prints:

        windows_read_data_files_in_registry: Registry lookup failed to get layer manifest files.
        Objects - 1
                Object[0] - VK_OBJECT_TYPE_INSTANCE, Handle 1372732017712```
only if I dont have any vulkan sdk installed. However, even with it installed the project still doesn't open correctly,  it just also doesn't give me any info on the console when it closes. I also have all drivers and windows 11 fully updated. And I also have the same problem on other projects that used to work fine and on projects that i create in Forward+.
relevant info (maybe):
- Laptop: Omen 016
-```OpenGL API 3.3.0 NVIDIA 551.61 - Compatibility - Using Device: NVIDIA - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU```
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H with Radeon Graphics

I'm desperate, I've tried anything and everything... :(

Hi there!

  • Which version of Godot started the issue?
  • Is your project a 3.x "port"?
  • Did you check the latest 4.3-dev version? It has some fundamental changes to the renderer(s).

  1. I'm working on 4.2.1 but I didn't previously have this problem even in the same version.
  2. No
  3. Yes, and it still doesn't open correctly.

#

So, this issue arose without you changing the godot version? Did you update your GPU driver recently? You mentioned the Vulcan driver, did you install it specifically to combat this issue or do you have it installed generally to be "on the bleeding edge"?

#

Did you try to rollback your GPU driver to some older version? (Not that I recommend that, just for testing purposes)

hallow flame
#

i update my drivers frequently but even my old drivers worked with vulkan

#

i might test that tho

paper condor
#

(I presume here. the Vulcan SDK comes with a accompaning driver)

#

It could be some nvidia driver issue. There is some driver cleanup project, maybe uninstalling/cleabing vulcan SDK and the nvidia driver and doing a clean gpu driver install is all that is needed.

#

Did you install the vulcan SDK for development or to solve this issue?

hallow flame
#

to solve the issue

#

downgraded the nvidia and amd drivers and it still doesnt work

paper condor
#

Mhh..

paper condor
#

Did you try --help to list the display and rendering drivers and pick one via --display-driver <driver> or --rendering-driver <renderer> ?

I presume the latter will give you an unwanted alternative to "forward+" (openGL) but it's worth fiddling around to narrow down the issue and see what might work.

#

--gpu-index <device_index> might also be interesting as you seem to have two (?) devices available.

#

this is all

#

opening godot with --rendering_driver vulkan doesn't even open the project manager

paper condor
#

Selecting a different GPU doesn't help, right?

hallow flame
#

it doesnt

paper condor
#

Not sure if a reboot is required after charging the Environment Variable.

#

After that and fiddling around with all the commandline options related to graphics, I'm out of ideas and you might need to create an issue und GitHub for the engine developers to take a look.

hallow flame
#

didnt work. ill put it up on github

hallow flame
#

@paper condor i was able do fix it

#

i had some software called 'openGL, openCL, Vulkan compatibility' or something like that. i uninstalled it and godot started working properly

#

the warning remained but i just installed the vulkan sdk and it disappeared

#

that compatibility software that came with the pc was probably messing up vulkan

paper condor

Nice!
