Description

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

When started with QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland dolphin-emu starts, but attempting to run play games with either OpenGL or Vulkan fails with dolphin complaining that it can initialize the video backend. (In Vulkan's case, it first complains about not being able to create a Vulkan surface.)

  1. Compile Dolphin from master.
  2. Start a Wayland session.
  3. Start dolphin-emu with QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland /usr/bin/dolphin-emu.
  4. Attempt to play a game with either OpenGL or Vulkan selected.

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

5.0-10695

Dolphin doesn't support Wayland at the moment. You may want to keep an eye on https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/7452.

Thanks.

At least the GUI can start with the Wayland backend, even if games can't be played yet. It's progress. :)
