How are you running the game (wine/compiled)?

I just compiled the source on Debian 12 and moved the base directory and the executable to my doom3 directory. I have been playing without a problem (with NVIDIA's proprietary drivers).

I found this error and a patch here: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/doom-3-bfg-vulkan-renderer-running-on-nvidia-jetson-nano/120549/4

Compiled from latest master, running on a RTX 2060 with the proprietary drivers version 535.183.01. Using X11, not Wayland.

I did check that patch and manually added the VK_KHR_xlib_surface extension the SDL extension list when creating the vector, but that did not fix the issue:

RBDOOM-3-BFG/neo/sys/sdl/sdl_vkimp.cpp

Line 63 in 747878e

std::vector<const char*> sdlInstanceExtensions = {};

[abalfoort]

I'm using the latest 560 driver: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/drivers/results/230918/
Don't know if that's going to help, though.

Did you copy the source base directory to your game directory?
If you like I can upload my executable.

[klaussilveira]

Yeah, everything runs fine on 1.4.0, which is the latest tag without NVRHI. Definitely Vulkan-related, and probably X11?

Appreciate the help, though!

These are my installed vulkan packages:

$ aptitude search vulkan | grep ^i
i  libvulkan-dev - Vulkan loader library -- development files
i  libvulkan1 - Vulkan loader library
i  libvulkan1:i386 - Vulkan loader library
i  mesa-vulkan-drivers - Mesa Vulkan graphics drivers

i  vulkan-tools - Miscellaneous Vulkan utilities

I thought this was related to my aging 2060. After having the need for a newer card, I just got a 4060 and upgraded everything along with it: drivers (565.77), vulkan SDK (1.3.296). This error still persists. I ran it with GDB and removed a few safeguards to know where it could be failing. Running latest master: 4f778fcc9d885a5719ccf4d74c77ce3a35db1952.

I'll continue investigating. I sense this could be something that SDL is setting up wrong, since I am able to run all of NVRHI samples, as well as donut_examples. And I have my own Donut project that I have no issues with, on any card/driver. The only difference there seems to be GLFW vs. SDL.

My next steps are going to be: try SDL3, then remove SDL and replace with GLFW.

The game does run on debug mode. It didn't previously. Here's the cmake args:

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++ -DUSE_PRECOMPILED_HEADERS=OFF ../neo
