Terminate called after throwing an instance of 'dxvk::DxvkError' on AMD hardware

Hello,

I just recently came across a strange issue trying to run any game on Steam via Proton (native games work fine).

When I launch the game, I get the error:

Terminate called after throwing an instance of 'dxvk::DxvkError'

Looking all over the internet it seems almost everyone who has encountered this issue has Nvidia hardware and an AMD vulkan package accidentally made its way onto the system. Example: https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/s1vjjg/terminate_called_after_throwing_an_instance_of/

That is not the case for me. I have a fully AMD system and running pacman -Qs vulkan returns nothing with Nvidia.

This is the full error from Steam:

fsync: up and running.wine: RLIMIT_NICE is <= 20, unable to use setpriority safelySetting breakpad minidump AppID = 6060Steam_SetMinidumpSteamID: Caching Steam ID: 76561198093996849 [API loaded no]Setting breakpad minidump AppID = 6060Steam_SetMinidumpSteamID: Caching Steam ID: 76561198093996849 [API loaded no]terminate called after throwing an instance of 'dxvk::DxvkError'pid 41037 != 41036, skipping destruction (fork without exec?)

I was not aware of any new packages installed/updated that caused the issue, but I have to imagine it started after some package change.
I have tried a full system update & many restarts to no luck

Any ideas why this may be happening and how to fix it?

I resolved it. Apparently I just needed to install vulkan-radeon & lib32-vulkan-radeon. Not sure why they weren’t on the system already

EndeavourOS does only minimal installations. Vulkan is not necessary for Linux or EndeavourOS to run, therefore Vulkan is not installed per default. However when installing steam, you should be prompted to chose a vulkan driver. vulkan-radeon was the correct driver to install.

In case of Nvidia hardware, vulkan drivers are installed per default when choosing to install the Nvidia driver because Vulkan is contained in the proprietary bloatware blob that is their driver.
