Unable to start game... please help!!!

Failed to initialize Vulkan.
Please make sure your driver and GPU support Vulkan.

To disable Vulkan, remove -vulkan from your launch options.
If you chose Vulkan in the video settings, please add -safe_mode to your launch options to allow the game to start with the default rendersystem.

Wasn't aware that Mac OS has Vulkan support. Thought Apple only does their own proprietary METAL.

Don't use Vulkan, Mac OS does not support it!

If you're receiving a "Failed to initialize Vulkan" error when trying to launch Dota on your iMac, it's likely that your GPU or driver does not support Vulkan.

Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

Check your GPU and driver compatibility. Make sure that your GPU and driver support Vulkan. You can check your GPU's specifications on the manufacturer's website and update your driver if needed. If you are using a Mac, chances are it doesn't support Vulkan.

Try running Dota in safe mode. To do this, go to the game's launch options and add -safe_mode. This will allow the game to start with the default render system and may resolve the issue.

Try disabling Vulkan. To do this, remove -vulkan from your launch options. This will disable Vulkan and allow the game to start with the default render system.

Verify your game files. To do this, go to your Steam library, right-click on Dota, select "Properties", go to the "Local Files" tab, and click on "Verify Integrity of Game Files". This will check the game files for any errors or missing files and may resolve the issue.

Reinstall Dota. If none of the above steps work, you may want to try reinstalling Dota to see if that resolves the issue.

If you continue to experience the issue after trying these steps, you may want to contact Steam Support or Dota support for further assistance. They can help you troubleshoot the issue and may be able to provide additional support or solutions.
