GZDoom Vulkan crashes on start up with a fatal error.

Post by UnBeatWater »

This only started happening recently (so I assume it's because of me upgrading my system).
So, I guess I'll just give some background on my system:
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
  • Driver version: 535.183.01
  • Vulkan version: 1.3.242
  • OS: Debian 12
  • GZDoom version: g4.12.2
I hope that's about all I need to say.

So, I now get this error message when trying to boot up GZDoom with Vulkan renderer and it also happens with VKDoom:
Fatal error
Could not create pipeline cache: out of device memory
The game works fine if I use the OpenGL renderer.

What a weird error. Try delete the .zdpc files in %localappdata%\zdoom\cache (Windows) or $HOME/.config/zdoom/cache (Linux) and see if that fixes it.

That seems to have fixed it! Thanks!
