The Procedure Entry Point Vkgetphysicaldevicefeatures2 Could Not Be Located [2025]

The integrated Intel or AMD GPU driver may be older than your dedicated GPU driver, causing the error.

The cure is almost anticlimactically simple, which adds to the error’s mystique: The integrated Intel or AMD GPU driver may

This isn't a hardware failure. Your GPU is likely fine. This is a versioning schism. There are two primary culprits: This is a versioning schism

1. The Laggard Driver (The Most Common Culprit) Your graphics driver (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel) is old. Really old. The Vulkan API has evolved; vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 was introduced in Vulkan 1.1, which debuted in 2018. If your driver predates that era, the vulkan-1.dll it installed is a fossil. It knows Vulkan 1.0 commands and nothing more. The application, compiled against Vulkan 1.1 or 1.2, is asking for a word that wasn’t in the fossil’s vocabulary. Really old

2. The Stubborn Installer (The Silent Saboteur) Sometimes, a poorly behaved application (or a “portable” game) dumps its own ancient copy of vulkan-1.dll directly into its installation folder or a system path. Windows, following its default search order, finds this rogue, outdated DLL before it checks your actual graphics driver’s folder. The result: Your shiny new driver is sitting right there, ready to help, but Windows ignores it in favor of a decrepit impostor.
