Hello Parapele,

We are about to proceed with a laboratory test to replicate this issue.In order to reproduce this issue, should we just launch the emulator without loading any ROM? Can you point us to a place where we can obtain a legally approved ROM?Regards,Xavier A.

Hi! You don't need games. Xenia don't will launch at all, it will make xenia.log in folder with exe after error message. RPCS3 will launch but in GPU option Vulkan missing on 4849. Screenshot was made on 4815.

Hello Parapele,

Thank you for the information and for your patience.We tried to replicate the issue in our laboratories, but we did not get the expected results. The emulators did not work properly, but we did not get the same results as you.However, we will be escalating the issue to the next level of support to be able to look for a solution for you, and we will reply back with more information as soon as possible.Regards,Xavier A.

Hello. It's a strange that you said "emulators did not work properly", they work or they don't. If driver upgrades Vulkan version up to 1.0.61, emulators will work properly, and i pretty sure its your case. If Xenia launches - its working. If RPCS3 in option has Vulkan - its working. You not can just put Blu-Ray disk and play games, read https://rpcs3.net/quickstart FAQ please. I found http://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/displayreport.php?id=2172 this, looks like its a scan Intel HD 530 with 4849 driver and it actually has 1.0.61 version of Vulkan, why driver downgrades for me... I can't believe, am alone with this problem. I will leave Vulkan API scans from https://www.techpowerup.com/download/techpowerup-gpu-z/ GPU-Z and http://www.geeks3d.com/20171031/gpu-caps-viewer-1-37-0-released/ GPU Caps Viewer.

I have exactly the same issue on my i7-7700k with HD Graphics 630. Vulkan reports 1.0.0 which is clearly a bug on Intels side.
