Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Built Mar 26, 2020, at 22:46:20, Steam API v020, package versions 1585264767.
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): NixOS, running Steam via Flatpak v1.4.2 using flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No (though same problem exists in the Steam client beta)
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes.

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Ever since the latest Steam stable update, Underlords no longer starts. I get this error box instead:

Failed to initialize Vulkan.
Please make sure your driver and GPU support Vulkan.

I tried a few other games, they seem to work fine. Haven't tried all games, but happy to try anything specific. For example, Dota2 still works.

GPU: GeForce GTX 1080 (driver version: nvidia-x11-440.59-5.4.25)

I actually got this error using the beta client last week, so I switched to the stable branch in hopes that it would go away before it became stable, but that's what I get for not reporting it earlier. :)

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Run latest Steam client (beta or stable) using Flatpak v1.4.2, using the flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam image.
  2. Run Dota Underlords
  3. Get Vulkan error. :(

I also tried adding -gl to the Dota Underlords run flags, but it just hangs.

@kisak-valve Ah handy, thank you, will track that also.

@shazow, can you check if the workaround in the linked bug report helps?

Please try adding XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/GL:/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/GL %command% to the game's launch options.

@kisak-valve Confirmed that workaround works for me, using the latest Steam Beta client which was failing with the same error before.

Are you sure you're running the latest Steam build from Flatpak? This fix was added 5 days ago:

https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam/commit/ae87f47cd15969d5d3019088b4e89341b9a2fbe7

Just run flatpak update to update everything.

@guihkx You're totally right! It works with the latest com.valvesoftware.Steam image, my apologies.

I tried the latest last week when it was failing on the beta but I forgot to update it when it started breaking yesterday. Thank you.
