Vulkan no longer working?

[nayonhaha]

I primarily played Valheim with Vulkan because its the only way i get decent FPS, and about a week ago, upon attempting to start up Valheim with Vulkan, it flashes an error box for a second before auto-closing. It is still doing this, and i was just wondering if anyone else had encountered this.

[nayonhaha]

I haven't altered the starting parameters at all, and it seems like Vulkan is also failing to run on Hades when i tried to run it there

Could try the starting parameter -force-vulcan

I'm running Windows 10 as my OS, and i was able to last play around late March if memory serves.

Rollback your nvidia driver to an earlier version, the latest version seems to have troubles with Vulkan in Calheim.

[Braquemard200]

with Ubuntu 20.04 and 460.39 drivers, it starts natively with Vulkan. I did not do any particular manipulation during the instalation

Thanks for that. Haven't tried Valheim in Linux yet - but intend to. I run Linux Mint (Cinnamon) which is, I believe, founded on Unbuntu. Do you reckon Mint would be ok too?

Are you referring to the movie, Search for Spock or the original tv series episode where Spock's brain was removed?

When it stopped working for me it was because my NVIDIA drivers didn't install correctly. MAYBE try reinstalling your drivers to see if that fixes the issue.

Ive attempted a reinstall from a fresh installer, and through GeForce, and Vulkan is still not working for Valheim or Hades.

I have the same issue, for me it also stopped working around that time.
I tried the -force-vulkan launch, updated my GPU drivers, now we had a couple of game updates but still, no luck.

That will not work. It's spelled vulkan, not vulcan.

Ha! Sorry for the "vulcan" thing. That was @grapplehoeker's fault, lol. He made my brain click into Spock mode (huge fan).

I don't know why it acts this way, but suddenly I've fond the way to launch it. I was experimenting with mods and presets that were supposed to increase perfomance without Vulkan, though it didn't work and when tried this one from Nexusmods https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/1360, I decided to try running it under Vulkan and it works! This mod doesn't bring any chanhes to gameplay. It's just an optimisation library rhat somehow gets it working!
Imortant thing: I got it running with the startup argument

-window-mode exclusive -force-vulkan

then run it from steam. When it suggests you to choose - run Valheim - or - run it with Vulkan - choose the first descriptor, simply run Valheim. It will run using startup arguments. The button for Vulkan still dosn't work.

to instal the mod just unpack archives content ito Valheim directory

UPD: Not allways working. I don't know why. If I get it, I will write here.
