Vulkan: swapchain out of date (VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DATE_KHR)

What is VULKAN-ERROR-OUT-OF-DATE-KHR?

The Vulkan surface has changed (window resize, alt-tab) and the swapchain needs to be recreated. Games may crash instead of handling this.

Common Causes

• Window resized or moved to a different monitor
• Game engine bug not handling swapchain recreation
• Outdated Vulkan loader

Step-by-Step Fix Guide

• 1
  Update GPU driver which ships a newer Vulkan loader
• 2
  Update the game to a patched version
• 3
  Avoid resizing the window mid-game
