Ran into the same problem. Constantly saying it was open in another tab or program.

I don't use Windows, so I guess I won't be using Bluetooth on my Stadia controller. Eh, I prefer leaving my controllers plugged into my PC anyway.

Quoting: CyborgZetaThat's nice and all, but Vulkan on the Dolphin Flatpak has been broken for the past several months. Trying to use Vulkan just brings up a "failed to initialize video backend" and "failed to create Vulkan instance" dialog.

I don't see an issue for this on the Flathub package's issue tracker. [External Link] Any particular reason you haven't filed a report if it has been broken for the past several months?

I don't have a GitHub account, and I know jack about filing bug reports. People typically pull up the output in a terminal or something, yes? I don't know how to do that. All I can tell you is "Uh, it don't work".

There are discussions on Reddit that tell me other people have issues with failing to initialize Vulkan on Dolphin. Though I don't know what hardware or OS they're using. In those cases, it may be a driver issue, but the Flatpak build should be using the latest drivers. No clue.

Vulkan in Dolphin doesn't work on my desktop or my Steam Deck, so I don't think it's a hardware issue.

I just tried it with Vulkan, and it appears to be working on my system. There must be a way to work around whatever issue you're having, although I don't know what that is since I didn't do anything special.

I found the problem.

Just did a fresh install and re-enabled my settings one-by-one, testing Vulkan each time to see if it works. When I checked the box for "Enable API Validation Layers" in the Advanced tab, I got the problem I've been experiencing. That's why Vulkan never worked. Not sure why I ever had that checked. Well, at least that's one problem solved.

Here, you can take a look at mine. Nothing remarkable.

Sadly, it pulled too early, because I've been playing Mass Effect 2 on Legendary Edition pretty much non-stop since last week. It would've ranked higher.

I wish Cyberpunk 2077 wasn't so prominent. I didn't hate the game, but I didn't love it either. Yet, I put enough hours into it that it gets a spotlight. Ah well.

Oh, one last addendum to mine; don't expect RetroArch to go up again. I ran into problems with the RetroArch Flatpak back in Late Spring, and used the Steam version for a while; hence the playtime. Nowadays, I run the Flatpak again. The Steam version still lacks the melonDS core, which is the only core I use for DS games.

I only use Plasma these days, but I still love Xfce. Cool beans.

I would recommend a flavor like Kubuntu over Ubuntu, especially for a new user. Plasma is going to look more "sane" than GNOME, which is something I can attest to from back when I first tried Linux.

Thanks for this. I'll start donating.

I'm not a fan of AppImage, personally. They're arguably more portable than Flatpak, but they lack Flatpak's sandboxing. The only AppImage I use is for Balena Etcher, because there's not Flatpak available.
