Vukan-1.dll not found

[fvkelley]

When trying to run the simulator under 1.5.a it cannot run because it says: "The code execution cannot proceed because vukan-1.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."

I'll see about adding this DLL to the build.

@fvkelley You need to install this: https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver

@NotoriusNeo Ahhh, thanks. However, i am running this on a laptop, an old latitude, and @klertimalaj is right, can I run a nvidia file on my laptop? P.S.: I am sorry about the duplicate; I did not see it.

I found it! You can just download a dll vulkan file from chrome and you're good to go!

Vulkan DLL should be bundled with your graphic card drivers. First check that your GPU does have support for Vulkan Graphic API, and then check your drivers are up to date.

@ange-yaghi You could ship the dll with the app, but I'm not sure it is recommended. There is this SO thread where the different approaches are discussed : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38334158/vulkan-sdk-redistributables It is said that for the majority, it should go with the installed drivers of the users' graphic card. But you can also use their "Vulkan RunTime Installer" in order to install the needed dependencies for Vulkan.
