Description

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

No game can be started when the 30bpp mode in enabled for Xorg on Linux. I only get the following warning windows:
“Failed to find a suitable format for swap chain buffers.” [OK] [Ignore for this session]
Clicking on [OK]: “Failed to create Vulkan swap chain.” [OK] [Ignore for this session]
Clicking on [OK]: “FIFO shutting down while active” [OK] [Ignore for this session]
Clicking on [OK]: “Failed to initialize video backend!” [OK] [Ignore for this session]

Note:

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Run Xorg in 30bpp mode (with Mesa >= 22.0.0) on hardware that supports it: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/30bpp
  2. Start the emulator and in “Graphics” → “Backend” make sure «Vulkan» is selected (this is the renderer I'm using).
  3. Try to start any 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.

Yes: Dolphin [HEAD] 5.0-16195

Can you retest this with the latest drivers and version of Dolphin? Vulkan has been updated quite a bit.

Unfortunately the issue persists with Dolphin [HEAD] 5.0-17740 (commit 904551fdb9cbaf8150637f9a910feb7c19daee79).

It seems that's because the format “VK_FORMAT_A2R10G10B10_UNORM_PACK32” is not currently supported (I only see “VK_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM” and “VK_FORMAT_B8G8R8A8_UNORM” as expected formats in the code): https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/blob/master/Source/Core/VideoBackends/Vulkan/VKSwapChain.cpp#L166-L186
