    А couple of months ago, Vulcan simply refused to work in all games, deleting the drivers and vuklan using DDU didn't help.

    What NV driver version are you using?

    What other Vulkan games do you have and do they all give an Access Violation error?

    You could try adding the executable as an exception to your antivirus software.

    Other games: RDR2, DOOM(2016), doom has the same crash, rdr2 just doesn't start.
    I dont have an antivirus.

    I can see Bandicam - bdcamvk64.dll - and I can see a FPS monitoring software - fpsmonvk64.dll -, exit those first and see how that goes, could also try to update the Vulkan runtime manually but it shouldn't be required though it is backwards compatible. :)

    I can also see what looks like a launcher possibly from the game, I just renamed it and started the exe directly but chances are the bounce from that to the actual game could also interfere with these hooks and third party programs unless added to the exception list assuming these tools actually have one. :)

    EDIT: Command line could also work, due to some issues with it I'm using that to throw out the Steam overlay from Vulkan.

    set DISABLE_VK_LAYER_VALVE_steam_overlay_1=1
    set DISABLE_VK_LAYER_VALVE_steam_fossilize_1=1
    @start "" "C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\DOOMEternal\DOOMEternalx64vk.exe" +com_skipIntroVideo 1

    Disabling the overlay, shader cache Steam thing and then just launching the game and throwing out the intro video because I dislike those and prefer to disable them wherever possible. :p


    That's a bit more complicated though, involves the various .JSON files and finding their names and toggling them off.

    SteamOverlayVulkanLayer64.json

    So the disable call is invoked and that leaves the program running but it won't be adding to another Vulkan layer for the game to try loading.


    Or just turn third party programs off and see how that goes. Either one works really.


    EDIT: And I forgot this.
    https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home#windows

    VulkanRT.exe (Not the actual full SDK just the loader/runtime.) latest would be 1.2.131.2

    Backwards compatible, mostly compatibility related (Newer SDK's / Vulkan API software.) but the occasional bug fixes makes it in every now and then.

    Ah and these could also be using layers so they don't have to be explicitly running they just need to have written the JSON file to the registry.

    That's located here:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Khronos\Vulkan\ImplicitLayers

    So in my case two are added by Steam for again the overlay enabling Vulkan compatibility and the Fossilize feature which I believe relates to the shader cache and then I'm a ReShade user so that has a entry too.

    So the game or other Vulkan API software starts the Vulkan runtime or loader gets this data and loads the info with it which can be difficult to observe at first since you might not have the programs running in the background they could just have entries here. :)

    EDIT: Renaming these could also work either the JSON files or possibly smoother by just renaming these directly in the registry, rename them back after testing if it worked and I wouldn't delete any unknown entries those could be from the display driver itself or other useful additions. :)


    EDIT: Plus a secondary path for WoW3264 or how it's called for 32-bit / x86 software but that's unrelated here as DOOM Eternal (And RDR2) are 64-bit.


    EDIT: Troubleshooting and third party programs and compatibility, like injectors and .dll files and what have you but now taken a step further and made more complex, not always easy but hopefully it ends up being a issue between Bandicam and the game or Bandicam the game and the display driver and working around allowing Bandicam (Or the FPS monitoring software.) loading into DOOM Eternal or other Vulkan processes will confirm it.

    Making it compatible and playing nice is a different issue though and could be a pain unfortunately.



    EDIT: Well that answers it from the below post, nice little Github report of the issue and all. :D

    Glad you got it working and props to @JonasBeckman for identifying those extra .dll's.

    I saw them too but didn't know they were external plugins.

    Well somewhat, I recognized Bandicam and was thinking around recording compatibility but not very well, seeing that there is a issue report for it leave it to emulators I suppose to do the deep diving and some pretty spectacular implementation and usage of these low level API's thus giving the coders some really impressive skill with both the API itself and also the driver side and compatibility for programs over time. :D
    (Goes for the CPU usage and features leveraged here too for that matter.)

    NVIDIA appears to be doing well following feedback and listening to reports, AMD seems a bit more mixed but that's less important as in this case it wasn't a driver error as such it was third party program compatibility, glad to see it got resolved. :)

    Hi, thanks for your responses but i didn't find bandicam in program list nor in the program files folders. How can i found it ?
    Also didn"t find vulkan log (only uela or licence txt), where is it hiddden ?

    and i repost the dxdiag which, i'm very sorry for those who take the time to read it, was an old one,

    For the BDFilters file it looks like it's usually found here:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\BandiMPEG1

    A search for the .dll could also help locate it but if it's not from BandiCam itself (Since it didn't seem to be installed.) something else must be using it like a codec which then interferes although if that's some media player program, pack or other recording utility I wouldn't know.

    The game isn't being dumb and loading the Intel iGPU early is it? Since it's listed first and all which has been a problem though a temporary disabling of it from the device manager could help.
    Think the Intel drivers also had *very* varying support for Vulkan and certain extensions so even the newer drivers might hit a snag if the game doesn't immediately go for the dedicated GPU.

    EDIT: There might be a way to prefer to select the dedicated GPU or have settings that attempts this but some software is well kinda dumb or simple and just take the first listed device thus disabling it from the device manager temporarily to force usage of the dedicated GPU.

    Alternatively the bios but that shouldn't be needed to fully disable iGPU support. :)

    You also have the C:\Users\USERNAME\Saved Games\idSoftware folder I believe and perhaps a log file from the game itself although the Bethesda or id Software launcher has a crash handler inbuilt so if that is running it suppresses this for it's own silent error management which means no log or other details.

    Yeah it doesn't work on the Intel GPU so there's a possibility here at least.

    From a benchmark on the game.
    EDIT: Maybe newer drivers could help, DXGI has this.

    Those are probably too old for support for these newer Vulkan extensions if that's the only issue.
    (The idea being the game is actually allowed to load up and use the dedicated GPU not crash immediately from missing support of Vulkan 1.1 and related extensions for newer VLK games or software.)

    NVIDIA ones look fine, 17th March 2020 :)


    EDIT:
    https://www.techpowerup.com/download/intel-integrated-graphics-drivers/

    March 26th 2020 :)

    EDIT: Yeah the January 2020 release notes mention Vulkan 1.2 support so that and newer hopefully has a very up to date and robust VLK 1.0 and 1.1 code base meaning no problems compared to the May 28th 2019 driver from the DXGI log.



    Or bypassing it but if it can be made to work or at least jump to the dedicated GPU without crashing that'd be ideal without losing any advantages that a iGPU provides.
    (Or having to fiddle with the bios or the device manager.)


    EDIT: Windows Update can also work.
    https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=26.20.100.7870

    It's not the latest though it's the prior February driver.

    generally if its going to interfere with Vulkan, you'll find it in the registry under HKLM\Software\Khronos\Vulkan\xxxLayers

    Ah that's true the layers and how that is handled for Vulkan, would be simpler to just remove or rename them that way if it's loaded through a JSON and can then be found in the registry instead of hunting down files and whatever is running it. :)
    (Since it's all in a single path here, well there's one for 32-bit too but it doesn't apply here as both DOOM Eternal and Red Dead Redemption 2 are 64-bit.)

    EDIT: Though being named bdfilters64.dll it sounds like a Bandicam .dll for some audio or video related processing or filter effect being loaded but it could still be related to whatever is added through a layer which then activates these files.


    Err not the best explanation but hopefully not just a codec type file loading up and activating for the logo videos or a sound file.
    Guessing it's part of the overall software though so it's not like hunting down something like LAV or anything like that and setting up exceptions or a blacklist for certain processes or specific audio or video formats like BINK. :)


    EDIT: Probably over complicating it again, not everything is some all injecting third party program (Like corsair CUE/iCUE and some others.) that tries to load into every software whether it should or not.

    Also just to mention it the layers are also used by for example the Steam client for overlay compatibility and even the display driver could be using this method so best to check and rename only the problematic ones instead of trying to clear the entire registry key. :)
