Affected Build(s)

r5115f64

Description of Issue

I keep encountering this popup whenever I launch Citra; my system doesn't support Vulkan, and I'm using OpenGL, so I wouldn't expect this error to appear at all and my gpu does not support vulkan in anyway

Expected Behavior

no error popup when launching the app

Reproduction Steps

simply launching the app

Log File

citra_log.txt

System Configuration

CPU: Intel Core i7-5500U
GPU/Driver: NVIDIA GeForce 820M
RAM: 8GB
OS: Windows 11 24H2

I found this line in the log file.

[ 1.980314] Frontend citra_qt\util\graphics_device_info.cpp:GetVulkanPhysicalDevices:45: Error occured while querying for physical devices: Vulkan 1.1 is required, but only 1.0 is supported by instance!

shouldn't Citra only display the error when the game is launched and the Vulkan API is selected and not when the app is simply opened.

@raphaelthegreat can you take a look?

This is because vulkan checking is done at startup. Can see for a fix

Vulkan is needed for displaying the list of available gpus. At the moment it's done during start because opening config window would be too slow if it had to create a dummy vulkan instance each time. This can be reworked however to only query when vulkan is selected by user and cache result, or if already selected and switch to opengl if unsupported

The point is that there is no need to display a dialog box. Instead a label can be shown in the config window mentioning that vulkan is not available.

This issue is affecting me too. Since Citra has been abandoned is a fix even possible? Sorry new here and just created an account to comment.
