The game closes after dota 2 logo. The problem appeared today, it worked yesterday I get to following error after start:

When trying to track down the problem, through the gdb debugger, I get the following information:

Has anyone else encountered a similar problem?

Hello @focusn1k, probably not the source of of your trouble, but -vulcan is not a valid command line option. You can try -vulkan instead.

There is a known scaleform crash being tracked at #922 which is possibly related, but I have a feeling this is more of an issue with primusrun. Another option to try is optirun -b primus instead of primusrun.

[ruslansin]

Hello @Tele42, thank you for your attention, I removed the option and brought it back with an mistake before. Unfortunately the problem is not solved when the following actions:

• Change the command primusrun to optirun -b primus
• Remove the -vulkan option

Yesterday I was playing dota. Perhaps the problem appeared after today's update

[gdrewb-valve]

The update was not likely to be the problem directly as it only had small gameplay-oriented changes. Try validating your Dota install from the Steam client.

It does seem likely to be related to OpenGL somehow, but we'll see if other people hit it.

Crashes for me in main menu. Maybe related. Coredump below. Takes like 4 minutes to get to tty3 and close it.

[gdrewb-valve]

@Veske your crash is in NVIDIA's Vulkan driver and should be reported to NVIDIA.

[Veske]

Allright, then it's because of the new update. Will let them know.

[ruslansin]

@gdrewb-valve The problem disappeared for me after a full reinstall of the game

OK, closing since you're the original poster and your issue is resolved.
