Description
Game Name?
Tested on the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Wind Waker.

Wind Waker: d8e4d45af2032a081a0f446384e9261b
What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
Dolphin crashes when attempting to launch the game. If "Compile Shaders Before Starting" is enabled, the first shader compilation stage completes successfully and Dolphin crashes immediately afterward.
Game launches fine if anti-aliasing is disabled.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Set Anti-Aliasing to 2x MSAA in the Vulkan Graphics Settings. Launch the game.
Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.
Dolphin 5.0-9620
Is the issue present in the latest stable version?

Based on the crash log, the issue may be in MoltenVK.
Updated by Stenzek about 5 years ago
Known issue. This is why there's an open PR to update MoltenVK.

Bumping this: Same issue, but on nVidia with all available backends (MoltenVK, Metal and OpenGL). Metal and Vulkan shoot a “Failed to compile pipeline for Texture copy vertex shader and Depth resolve pixel shader: Compiler encountered an internal error” -> “Failed to compile EFB readback pipelines” -> “Failed to initialize render classes” -> “FIFO shutting down while active” -> “Failed to initialize video backend!” error chain and end emulation. If you try again, it locks up.
OpenGL dumps core immediately.

Running the Metal renderer on my 750M laptop gives a slightly more obvious error:
MTLTextureType2DMultisampleArray is not supported on this device
Looks like if we want MSAA support for these older Macs, we'll need to switch things to not using texture arrays. (Texture arrays are only needed for stereoscopic 3D rendering, which isn't supported without geometry shaders anyways, but we just use texture arrays always at the moment because it's easier that way)
