Download debug levels in VS 2015 (VK_ERROR_LAYER_NOT_PRESENT)

I'm currently trying to get Visual Studio to use the debug layer DLL for Vulkan, but somehow it cannot load libraries. My steps were like this:

When I launch my application, it starts until it tries to create an instance where it returns VK_ERROR_LAYER_NOT_PRESENT, and I can see in the Visual Studio output window that the dll didn’t really load at all. If I just put the “normal” path to the Vulkan binaries in the path above, it works fine again. I already checked that there are also .json files. This problem also occurs if I try to use the Release-DLL from the LoaderAndValidationLayers folder.

What am I doing wrong? Does anyone know how to do this?

EDIT: I found out that the problem VK_LAYER_LUNARG_threadingseems to be the problem. If I use VK_LAYER_LUNARG_standard_validation, it does not load anything. If I just specify all layers manually enabled (described here: https://vulkan.lunarg.com/app/docs/v1.0.3.1/layers ) without a layer VK_LAYER_LUNARG_threading, it works fine. Any idea why this could be?

Ok, I think I found the problem. But I'm still not 100% sure why this is happening. I compared the two VkLayer_threading.json files and noticed that the names are different (I suspect the name change from version 1.0.3 to 1.0.5).

  • 1.0.3 ("name": "VK_LAYER_LUNARG_threading") → 1.0.5 ("name": "VK_LAYER_GOOGLE_threading")
