Chiaki-ng doesn't open in 1.8.1

[isaias012-sys]

Hello, i'm asking this because, is the first time i'm using this software and when i wanna open, the program doesn't open.

We need more information hence the information asked in the template. What os are you running chiaki-ng on (Note: it opens fine for me on all OS so it is something specific to your system which is why we need this information)?

[superboiwonder]

Im having a similar issue and have tried multiple versions up to the latest one

[streetpea]

@superboiwonder Do you happen to have the OpenGL, OpenGL, Vulkan compatibility pack installed? If so please uninstall. It should work then

[superboiwonder]

where do I find that?

[streetpea]

See https://www.reddit.com/r/ROGAlly/s/0PfARk5KM6

[superboiwonder]

Not finding it anywhere in installed apps or system components. Also....

[superboiwonder]

Hold on thats not the screenshot i took fot the 1st one

It should be under installed programs I believe. Can you post the output from debug view you try opening the app with debug view open? Debug view can be installed here https://download.sysinternals.com/files/DebugView.zip

@superboiwonder please update your graphics card driver. The version of Vulkan your graphics driver supports (1.1.0) is too old for libplacebo (needs at least 1.2.0) which makes it too old for running Chiaki-ng (which uses libplacebo as the renderer)

[superboiwonder]

Im on the latest available for this pc despite saying update required

[streetpea]

Then your processor is incompatible with chiaki-ng so you won’t be able to run it on that device.

[streetpea]

@superboiwonder please see Chiaki https://git.sr.ht/~thestr4ng3r/chiaki which includes support for legacy devices.

Okay I was wondering why I could get it to launch on my tower but not here. My ally (Z1E) runs it pretty well just stutters some times on there. TBH I prefer your app over Sony's any day and definitely appreciate your work.

@isaias012-sys cab you provide more information on your os, etc?

@rodrigoxp208 it looks like you’re not picking up the qml dir. The app sets it automatically, but it looks like that isn't working for you. You can manually add QML_IMPORT_PATH to your USER environment variables by adding a new variable and entering the value as QML_IMPORT_PATH and clicking Browse Directory and navigating to the path where chiaki-ng is stored and then clicking on the qml folder following this: https://www.eukhost.com/kb/how-to-add-to-the-path-on-windows-10-and-windows-11/. Finally, try launching chiaki-ng again and it should work.
