Developer Notes

AMD's driver for 7870 did not package the Vulkan run time libraries. Other AMD drivers (e.g. 380) work fine.

Description

Was attempting to repro [Link Removed] in //UE4/Main when I hit the following crash

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open a new Blueprint First Person project in UE4Editor
  2. Enable Allow Vulkan Mobile Preview
    • Editor Preferences > General > Experimental > PIE
  3. Click Play drop-down and select Vulkan Mobile Preview

Result: New standalone process crashes on splash screen

Expected: Option is greyed out or prompts user with setup instructions if they don't have the SDK installed
