PROBLEM

The moment vulkan tries to create the graphics pipeline, OpenGL tries to access memory it has no acces to.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• It's most likely a mistake with the graphics pipeline itself, but at first glance this also seems to be set up correctly.
• It could also be a mistake in any of the prior steps, but I find it weird that this would only throw an error when making the graphics pipeline

EXCLUDED CAUSES

• It can't be a mistake in Visual Studio project configuration, as copy-pasting the entire example code to replace the existing code results in it working just fine.
• This indicates that it also can't be an issue with the shaders themselves, as I did not switch those out in the previous test.

FOUND CAUSE

Turns out it was just because my GPU driver was not 100% up to date.
Friendly reminder to everyone, including myself, to keep your graphics drivers updated 😅
