Neovide: Failed to create renderer: VkError(ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED)'

[intendednull]

Unable to start on manjaro:

$ neovide
thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to create renderer: VkError(ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED)', src/window.rs:156:18
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

I suspect it has something to do with my wm xmonad.

I experience the same issue with same wm (xmonad)

Can you give some details about your machine? Do you have an integrated and discrete gpu? Could be that neovide is trying to use the integrated gpu to save power but is running into driver issues for that device.

@Kethku using discrete gpu, don't think I have integrated.

Very interesting. Do the skulpin examples here https://github.com/aclysma/skulpin work?

[intendednull]

they do not

Okay this seems to be an issue with vulkan. Switching to proprietary drivers fixed the issue.

[Kethku]

awesome. Closing this

I had the same problem on Arch Linux, installing vulkan-intel package solved the issue
