Immediate crash when starting Dota #2388

Your system information

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

After the update this evening, the game crashes immediately after hitting Play in Steam. I believe it was this update: https://steamdb.info/depot/373306/history/?changeid=M:6584427226703182516

Dota was working fine earlier in the day. I restarted the game to download the update, and it began crashing on startup after relaunching. I tried verifying the game files, a reboot, and doing a full reinstall of Dota without any luck.

The crash dump indicates that it's a Vulkan memory allocation issue, but other games/GPU intensive software start and run normally: 39(1.597927): ERROR! VK call failed! result = VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY ( vkCreateDescriptorSetLayout( m_pDeviceVulkan, &descriptorSetLayoutCreateInfo, NULL, &pipelineLayout.m_ppDescriptorSetLayouts[ nDescriptorSet ] ) )

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Hit Play on Dota in Steam
  2. Dota crashes without even reaching the splash screen

Did a bit more digging on this during the evening. It appears that adding the -vulkan_disable_graphics_pipeline_library launch option works around this issue for now. I tried a number of launch options suggested on Reddit and other GitHub issues, including -novid and -vulkan_disable_steam_shader_cache, however none of them had any affect on the startup crash.

With -vulkan_disable_graphics_pipeline_library Dota starts up again normally and performance seems fine overall.
