Known Issues \ Vulkan Error

[Mistalleks]

DISCLAIMER: Buckshot Roulette is built with GODOT engine, which uses Vulkan API instead of DirectX.

Buckshot Roulette also does not officially support Mac OS. Unfortunately, Mac OS is notorious for problems with Vulkan API, and your best bet is to try and launch the game with OpenGL (as described below).

Another solution might be using an app like Parallels[www.parallels.com] or PlayOnMac[www.playonmac.com] to try an launch the game in an emulated Windows environment.

Please, consider this before buying the game!

Vulkan Error

If you’re getting the “Unable to initialize Vulkan video driver” error, make sure that your Vulkan video driver is up to date. You can download the latest version from these pages:
Vulkan for NVidia GeForce graphics cards[developer.nvidia.com]
Vulkan for AMD Radeon graphics cards[gpuopen.com]

If your graphics card doesn’t support Vulkan, you can try launching Buckshot Roulette in OpenGL mode.

Easy way

1. Right-click Buckshot Roulette in your Steam Library
   
2. Select 'Properties...'
   
3. Paste under 'Launch Options' the following

   --rendering-driver opengl3

4. Close the window and try launching the game.

Hard way

To do this on Windows:

1. Press Win+R, type in cmd and press Enter. A command terminal window will open.
   
2. Enter

   cd [Path to Buckshot Roulette folder on your computer]

   and press Enter
   
3. Paste

   "Buckshot Roulette.exe" --rendering-driver opengl3

   and press Enter again

To do this on Mac OS:

1. Open Terminal.app (press Cmd + Space and enter Terminal). A command terminal window will open.
   
2. Enter

   cd [Path to Buckshot Roulette folder on your computer]

   and press Enter
   
3. Paste

   "Buckshot Roulette.exe" --rendering-driver opengl3

   and press Enter again

Connection issues when hosing or trying to connect to the public lobbies

Most likely your router blocks the outgoing traffic.

You can try solving this with port forwarding UDP ports 4379 and 4380 to allow outgoing traffic.

Keep in mind, that not every router allows for port forwarding. More info at: https://portforward.com/

Hi guys, how's the fix going with the OpenGL version? Because I have very low FPS on the vulkan version of the game.

The game is very cool, will any new modes or additional various other things be added and when? Will there be new achievements or plots, or other characters? I am also looking forward to fixing the error with the bloodstain screen when opening OpenGL3

i tried it all. does not launch still. will this eventually be fixed? ı should refund the game ıf not.

To everyone waiting for the OpenGL fix — unfortunately, it's not an easy problem to fix.
Basically, we need to change a bunch of things in rendering to make it work properly with OpenGL. As such, we can't name any dates, sorry.

Soo I have been playing today perfectly with that code is mentioned and now after trying several times it keeps popping the error screen, however I still have written that code in the properties window.

Please if someone knows what is happening tell me

If you haven't updated the drivers for your GPU, this definitely might help!

Also, if you're using a laptop or any set up with two GPUs, you can try this:

On Windows 11 open Settings, go to Display -> Graphics, add Buckshot Roulette executable to the list and set Graphics Preference to High Performance.
On Windows 10 the process should be similar.

Did you try to update the drivers for your graphics card or use the Vulkan for AMD Radeon link I've provided in the opening post?
I don't think any setting would help, this is most likely because your Vulkan API is outdated.

Just upgraded game ready driver from 551.23 to 552.12 and yes, the problem is solved, thanks a lot;)

Hey! This is very odd. Can you share the data logs, please?
You can find them

C:\Users\(your profile name)\AppData\Roaming\Godot\app_userdata\Buckshot Roulette/logs

Maybe they contain something of use

Thank you for looking into the issues, I can't wait for the next update!
