Hi everyone, I’m trying to run Unreal Engine 5.5 and I’m getting some issues with the Vulkan drivers. I tried looking through the AUR for something specific to my GPU, and I did find something that looked promising! But there was a weird build error trying to install it (something about a fakeinstall environment), and now I’m stuck. I’ve spent a week searching the Arch wiki, Garuda wiki, and various forums to no avail.
My machine is a 2013 Mac Pro (the “trashcan” model) that I recently installed Garuda Hyprland onto after Apple dropped support for it. It has dual AMD Radeon HD 7870 XT graphics cards.
I’ve also included three different CLI logs in a GitHub Gist below: one from running Unreal Engine, one from running vulkaninfo , and one from trying to install amdonly-gaming-vulkan-radeon-git from the AUR. I’m assuming (optimisitically) that the errors in the first two logs will be resolved with Vulkan Radeon drivers from the AUR.
Does anyone know how to address the fakeinstall issue? And if anyone knows a simpler solution that installing this driver from the AUR, or if there’s additional information I need to provide, I’d be happy to listen.
