W10 Intel i5 VkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties Failed -3 #168

Open Axis4s opened 2 years ago

Axis4s commented 2 years ago

before running the application, i had to download a .dll called ''vulkan-1.dll'' to run the software after placing it on the directory and running the application. I Tried upscaling a basic image for testing, i got this error

VkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties Failed -3 VkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties Failed -3 VkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties Failed -3

it repeated 3 times in the Cmd for some reason, then i closed the cmd since it was generating slowdown and most likely woulnt generate the upscaled image.

I Have tried this software on Linux (Manjaro XFCE) and it ran just fine. Now that i switched back to windows it gave me this error. So yes, my hardware is ok enough to run the program.

You may have figured it out already, but vulkan is usually included in your video driver. Downloading shady dlls from dll download sites won't do it most likely. Try getting the newest driver for your intel graphics. If you wonder why it just works on linux, intel provides fully open source drivers, so those are included on almost any gnu linux distro for the kernel to load and use all of its capabilities (one of those capabilities is vulkan and its extensions)
