The Vulkan implementation is still there. You just have to install the redistributable. (see https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home - Runtime)
There's no separate Vulkan-less version of the drivers AFAIK - it's just that the installation program of the manufacturer doesn't run so that there's no opportunity to install the Vulkan runtime.
- slimsag 3y agoThanks for the info, cool to know you can install that separately. My original point remains: out of the box, many Windows users find they have the 'latest drivers' for their graphics card, find that DirectX 12 is working fine on their system, while simultaneously finding Vulkan does not. For games, it's fine to require users to fix their Vulkan drivers. But if you're making a video player and want to leverage hardware decoding.. I think this is an aspect you should be concerned about and aware of.
