Depending on your goals, you can attempt to force the game to run or bypass Vulkan entirely for better stability.

He knew what “Best” really meant. It meant that the developers had done everything they could with the hardware they were given. It meant that the Ivy Bridge was a hero, a workhorse that had refused to die for fifteen years. But it also meant that the gap between what the software demanded and what the hardware could provide was no longer a crack—it was a chasm.

This tells Mesa: “Never offer Ivy Bridge’s Vulkan driver to any app.” The system will fall back to OpenGL (or software Vulkan). This removes the warning and many crashes.

If the application supports OpenGL as a fallback (many emulators and older Steam games do), force OpenGL instead.

Let’s dissect the corpse. is the open-source graphics driver stack for Linux. Intel is the hardware giant. Ivy Bridge is a generation of CPUs from 2012. Vulkan is the low-level graphics API of the future. And “support is incomplete best” — a phrase that stumbles, that almost apologizes, as if the driver itself knows it is failing its duty.
