Yuzu:- Vulkan Initialization failed during boot from mainline 1107 onwards

[solarmystic]

Details

When starting up Yuzu on mainline 1107 onwards, the emulator displays the Vulkan initialization failed during boot message.

This does not occur on mainline 1105 and below. The emulator starts up as expected and Vulkan can be used with no issues.

Logs

Mainline 1107 (1st faulty build) yuzu_log.txt

Mainline 1105 (Last working build) yuzu_log.txt

System Configuration

12th Gen Intel i5-12400F NVIDIA RTX 2080 TI with 511.79 drivers 32 GB RAM Windows 10 21H1

Can also reproduce on linux (steam deck).

Edit: resolved by latest build.

Upon further investigation, it seems like if the executable filename is the default yuzu.exe, the error does not trigger at all.

New issue reproduction steps:-

1. Run mainline 1105 (last build without the issue) using the default yuzu.exe file name. Close it.

2. Rename mainline 1107's exe to something else (yuzu 1107.exe). Run it.

3. Vulkan initialization failed during boot error will appear.

Workaround:-

After running mainline 1105 (or any older build) and closing it, run 1107 with the default yuzu.exe file name at least once. Issue will not occur.

Another quirk of this issue is that once you've booted up a 1107+ build successfully without the vulkan error at least once, you may rename any of those executables and run them without issue.

But if you run any mainline 1105 build and below (for regression testing etc), you have to once again, run a 1107+ build with the default yuzu.exe name at least once. All subsequent boots will be fine after that with whatever yuzu file name.
