EDIT: solved by unchecking the “enable vblank” option in the game menus before changing to Vulkan.
I set up “The Talos Principle” with Vulkan support. It seems to be sort of
working, in that it throws no errors, but I cannot see anything: The screen
is completely black, BUT when I move the mouse I can hear the sounds when I
hit a menu item and click it, or when I get back into the game I can hear
the background music and footsteps. But the screen shows absolutely nothing.
Unfortunately, there’s no errors in any of the game’s or the system’s logs.
No issues with the GL renderer.
I’ve tested the LunarG cube and smoke examples and these do work.
Here’s the talog log:
