AMD 7900XT An Error Occured Initializing Video Core - VULKAN about yuzu

[Squall-Leonhart]

The virtual display adapters are actually the cause of the issue, these bind to and make the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter the default device, which has no vulkan support at the present time,

you can use the selection as goldenx86 has mentioned or set the 7900XT as the preferred device in the advanced windows graphics menu.

DDU and clean install the driver, it looks like your system may have had an older radeon in it at some point and installed an outdated vulkan loader that references a no longer present vulkan json file.

Just installed this copy of Windows last week, I actually did run DDU to clean whatever Windows installed by default and manually installed what I had gotten from AMD's website. At this point I'm not really sure what to do then, since I did just that the moment I booted into this copy of Windows for the first time. Run DDU again? I feel Windows Update must have interfered with something then.

Ran DDU in safemode again, did a clean install of drivers again. Same issue. Seems the issue is something else then. Incompatibility with this driver version? AMD does not know how to develop drivers in my 6 months of experience with this card, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's something they did.

The same drivers work for many other people on your card, don't try to blame AMD on this as everyone else does, your case is different

I am sorry you do not know what you are talking about. This is a clean install of Windows with a fresh install of AMD drivers. If you have any enlightenments on what is going wrong here, feel free to give some input.

I have just booted into safemode, ran DDU, restarted, and fresh installed the 23.4.3 drivers again. I am still being given the video core error. You can try to highroad me on this, but you offer no alternatives.

I would like you to also give me the source on your "many other people" metric, because in my findings as an owner of the card seeking solutions, I have discovered the exact opposite of that claim on Reddit and tech forums like toms or linus. I have had many issues with this card from the day I've gotten it, especially in DX12 titles and FL Studio, and the problems have persisted into a fresh install of Windows. I have switched to my old 1080 Ti in my last install on a few occasions and found the problems I was having in software like FL Studio, and certain game titles went away, and ended up using that for several months before switching back to this 7900XT when I installed this copy of Windows last week, but this is aside the point of this thread at this point.

Install the latest windows 11 22621 preview cumulative, there might be a solution in it since it references an issue where the systems high performance gpu isn't presented to applications correctly.

There may also be something you installed as habit that has a broken VK layer, mirillis action or twitch studio for example?

I will attempt updating Windows to that preview build. As for something I installed out of habit, the only I can think of is K-Lite codec pack for MPC (Media player classic). Other than that, this is a mostly vanilla install aside from Discord, Steam, FL Studio, and Windows Mixed Reality software. I have also installed all vcredist packages available. Aside from that, I am also on Windows 11 Pro Workstation, which does a few different things than a standard Pro install. Thank you for offering another idea to try.

Run this and check for informed warnings and errors. You have something installed messing with Vulkan layers.

Completely clean, do this, make sure the 7900 is selected in Emulation > Configure > Graphics.

I want to mention I can now run games in Vulkan. I am not sure what I did. It wasn't working after restarting after a driver reinstall, but after typing here for awhile and running that Vulkan check tool, it's now working? I will touch on those virtual display adapters though because I was wondering about those being there. Very odd. Thank you for the help... though I'm sure anyone finding this in the future will be annoyed by this resolution I had.

Windows for Workstations installs these by default, as they are part of a newer feature that replaces the legacy RDP engine, and are mainly intended for headless configurations.

But i assume your Monitor is attached right to the GPU in this case.
