Vulkan validation errors during surface config

[Jaisiero]

Description Following wgpu-learn tutorial 2, when the app executes the following line: surface.configure(&device, &config); I got some Vulkan validation errors related to surface & image format.

I print my avaliable formats: Bgra8UnormSrgb Bgra8Unorm Rgba16Float

tutorial gets the first one by default. I tried to get every of them but nothing changed.

Repro steps wgpu-learn.tutorial-2

Expected vs observed behavior Every time it renders using the raster pipeline during the next chapter, those validation errors still come out.

Do you have RTSS (RivaTuner Statistics Server) installed and running? It also comes with MSI Afterburner.

https://community.khronos.org/t/validation-layer-errors-when-creating-swap-chain-vkcreateswapchainkhr-returns-vk-success/107525

I also found an older issue with the same validation errors https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/issues/2110. But it mentiones that it's only happening if both the DX12 and Vulkan backends are enabled and not just with the Vulkan backend by itself.

So, we might still be doing something odd and when combined with RTSS it causes these errors.

Could you also try to force the Vulkan backend (disabling all the others) to see if the errors go away.

@Rageoholic do you remember having RTSS running at the time?

I am having the same issue and I uninstalled RTSS, the issue still continues

@Rageoholic do you remember having RTSS running at the time? I terminate the RTSS, and these error messages have gone! Thanks!
