Hello @jakern, "vkCreateSwapchainKHR (renderer->device, &create_info, NULL, &renderer->swapchain) failed: ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (-3)" in the Vulkan sections of your runtime diagnostics and

in vrcompositor.txt hints towards your NVIDIA driver install being broken in some way, but it's not immediately clear exactly how it's broken.
Thanks, this might not be the cause but likely related. I have another problem I believe I am close to narrowing it the Steam Compatibility Runtime 1.0. If I install the game, VR Chat, completely unrelated to my VR problems, something breaks and get the issue listed here https://steamcommunity.com/app/261570/discussions/0/1489992713709504645/ and I have to uninstall and re-install steam completely to fix it for all games. That one I believe is Vulkan related but I'm not sure how to start digging into it.
fixed with latest driver update
