assert Vulkan API method failed and error RHI device

[adamdbrw]

@adamsj-ros we are running O3DE with RTX 3080 or stronger, almost exclusively on Ubuntu 22.04 now.

Could this be from incompatible hardware? With an RTK model of Nvidia card but it will be using Docker in WSL2 which has not always been straightforward.

Details on the old GeForce GTX 1050 that this error occured on vs the RTX A100 I will test on next.

@spham-amzn could you take a look at this?

@adamsj-ros we never tried any of O3DE/ROS 2 Gem/demos on WSL2, unfortunately.

The Editor is not supported on WSL2 due to lack of Vulkan support: (thanks to @lumberyard-employee-dm for pointing this out) microsoft/WSL#5636

My mistake. This was on an older PC I have with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 running PopOS 22.04.

My Windows laptop running WSL2 has a Nvidia RTX A1000. This page doesn't explicitly mention that care amongst the other NVIDIA RTX AXXXX cards but the laptop is newly purchased about 6 months ago. It looks like the support for Vulkan might be very limited. Is there a way to run without using Vulkan? If so, how would that change the build instructions.

[adamsj-ros]

Also could you offer a few GPUs that you have used?

[lemonade-dm]

Well the Minimum specs for a Nvidia Graphics Card is a GTX 1060 (https://www.docs.o3de.org/docs/welcome-guide/requirements/#minimum-hardware-specification), which maybe because of a a particular supported feature set in the drivers.
Someone from @o3de/sig-graphics-audio should have more insight into the GPU specs though.

I think the issue is a combination of getting vulkan support through WSL2 and the drivers. There may be some extra work involved in getting it to work, as far as I know. ( I did find this page on nvidia's site)

Closing this as WSL is not supported as a platform, because of lack of Vulkan support.
