Vulkan Issues with GZDoom

[GlebyGlobster]

Whenever i use vulkan as the rendering api thingy, visuals get weird. The text on menus will sometimes stretch and contort all around the screen, and the invisible powerup effect and spectres have white lines occasionally show up instead of black lines. With the screen melt transition effect,  some of the melt lines will not move for too long and then go, or teleport around the screen. Any idea on what's causing this?

Which graphics card do you use? Which OS are you running?

Did you try upgrade to the latest graphics driver?

Are you getting this from other games? Preferably something new that gives your card a good workout (not another doom port or something like that). Basically, could it be an overheating problem?

Did you install any programs that inject themselves into vulkan applications? Bandicam is one example of an application that has bugs in its vulkan layer that could cause problems. If you do have any such program, try uninstall it and see if it solves the problem.

How do i find out what my graphics card is?

Windows 10

How do i update?

Nope, only happening to doom. Only vulkan does this

It's not overheating, it happens all the time with vulkan

i have not installed any of those

i don't have bandicam

GZDoom writes the name of your graphics card during start up. If you bring up the console it should be writing the name. Look for something that says NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, etc.

 

You update the driver by going to the website of the vendor and download a newer version. Easiest way to get there is to search on google. For Nvidia, search for "nvidia driver download" and it should give you a link to the correct page. Same thing for the other vendors.

its doing the update thing

How outdated was my card?

[GlebyGlobster]

I updated the drivers, the oddities are less common, but are still there. However, now spectres have white dots teleporting all around their sprite instead of white lines.

i had vulkan issues, i updated my drivers, issues were still there, i restarted, and no more issues.

Generally speaking, restarting after updating drivers or doing any sort of system-level work like that is a good idea.
