(Godot Tutorial) Fix Vulkan Error / Run With OpenGL3

This video was made for my cousin, but it may help you too! No music, no fluff, *hopefully no ads*? Just straight to the point.

It's also my first time making a tutorial, so if you have any ideas on how I can improve or if you need assistance, let me know down below.

# Frequently Asked Questions:
*READ THIS BEFORE COMMENTING.*

Q: When *debugging the game, * a similar problem occurs. How do I run the debugged game in OpenGL3?
A: Go into the project settings for your game, go into General>Editor>Run>Main Run Args (this is the setting name: editor/run/main_run_args) and paste in the arguments from the video:
--rendering-driver opengl3

Q: The *.bat file simply doesn't work, as if I had opened the .exe file normally.* What else can I do?
A: Computers are essentially very dumb and fast. They aren't clever, and can't see the similarity between *--rendering-driver* and something typed incorrectly like *--Renddering-Driver*, so check for typos in your arguments, and make sure that the arguments are _lowercase._

Q: The Godot application runs with some *visual artifacts* and glitches. How do I fix this?
A: As far as I know, there may not be a way to fix these artifacts. Some shaders are coded especially for Vulkan, and OpenGL3 may not know how to render those shaders. It's up to the programmers to make their application support OpenGL3.

This is the structure of your command.
"C:\the Path --rendering-driver opengl3
Again, make sure that the arguments are lowercase and spelled exact. The file path is not part of the arguments of this command.

Hello thanks, great video. 👍
I had a few problems (solved in less than 10 minutes) so I wanted to let here a quick guide of the problems that I had and some more that can interest you.

(The problems that I had where only before the video and I am in Windows 10 18/06/2024)

The video instructions

First I did what the video said create a text file (in default it does not have the “.txt”) copy the name in security (remember copying the entire name) pasted it putting (“) at the start and end then typing —rendering-driver opengl3 after that you need to close it with the X and select save (if for some reason you already have the “.bat” delete it if it has something like 0 KB because it did not save) now that you have the “.txt” open view select the checkbox and it should say “.exe” at the end of Godot_v4.2.2(...)win64 and Godot_v4.2.2(...)console also “.txt” at the end of your text file (with the name that you put it.txt) now you can right click it go to change name and select “.txt” and replace it with “.bat” now it should work if not maybe its because

My issues

First I did not know that the folder that has [Godot and Godot console] has to go in downloads this cannot be done if you have a “.bat” so delete it move the entire folder (just with [Godot and Godot console] to downloads and it should download now repeat all the steps (except the checkbox one and copying the file name if you have it still) and that should work

I recommend creating a direct access in the desktop of the folder or just the “.bat”
(Some words that are not in the video maybe are different in my comment because I have my computer in spanish)
Have a nice day 👋

valeu mt man, procurei em todo lugar e na achei te amo mt irmao

I was gonna comment about the buckshot roulette, but I keep running the game instead of the bat that I set up😂😂. But now the game keeps crashing but I think that's my pc's problem. It sucks though, the game looks really interesting and I don't usually find pc games interesting and just stick to one game

[mrderin]

go.That's the tutorial im looking for.Liked the video👍

[RekkedTR]

So I can go into the project but I can't play because the error comes up again. Any fixes?

[SUPRA]

You are extremely perfect i see alot of solution but didn’t work just you worked with

[evilnidal]

It worked but there's still a problem when i try to run the project it still says the same thing

[ClamShel]

Thanks man! it didn't work at first but it was just because I was being an idiot and didn't save the changes I made to the text file :)

[rfoh_]

umm, there is a new game called buckshot rullet, i download it but when i try to open the exe the same problem showed up "your video card driver does not support the vulkan " how can i solve it

[richy]

this is much better than writing it every time you have to open godot XD

[SolitaryElite]

hey man, what about when debug running the game... same error happens its anoying to export it every time

[Аарон-ле]

[zippdoesstuffyt]
