Program will not launch

[mikeg99]

I have not been able to get Gladius to run since I have bought it. It fails upon launch telling me that it cannot detect a Vuklan support device. However, my graphics card, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660Ti with Max Q Design is a Vulkan supported device. I have the latest drivers which includes Vulkcan drivers/support and I have been able to run other games that require Vulkan drivers.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

sorry for this, can you provide the information asked in the sticky thanks

How to get a DirectX Diagnostic file:

1. click on "START" 2. click "run" 3. type in "dxdiag" and click "OK" 4. check through the tabs and perform all tests 5. click "Save all Information..." and save the text file to a location of your choice

We prefer that DxDiag files be posted as message attachments rather than pasted into the body of the post.

once the report has been made, just zip the file then attach it to your post as it's a Txt file which is then not permitted to attach to the forum, where as a zip file is.

I added the zip file.

you need to tell the game which of the 2 GPU's to use, as one won't work but the other will, this isn't a fault of the game to select the right one, but a fault with almost every dual GPU laptop that's ever been made

Code: Select all

the link explains how to set the game to use the correct one, and only needs to be done, once per that your having any issues with, good luck

I appreciate the quick response. I find it strange that out of the 100 games I own, that only this one cannot find the correct GPU.

So I dug around and finally found the Gladius.exe file. I went into the display settings for the file and chose high performance (and confirmed that was the nvidia card). I get the same error message. It cannot find a Vulkan detected device.

you have 2 nvidia cards, you need to pick the one with the most onboard memory, as the onboard chipset version as shown doesn't have the ram for the game to work, so won't work either when chosen / selected

Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti with Max-Q Design

is the correct one

High Performance is the 1660i card. Same error message.
