Graphics only supports Vulkan 1.2

Your graphics card or its driver only offers Vulkan 1.2. Luduvo needs Vulkan 1.3, so it tried D3D12 instead.

What you see

Luduvo fails to launch on older graphics.

Who's affected

Older graphics such as Intel UHD 600 and the GeForce GT 710.

What to do

1. Look for a newer graphics driver from your laptop maker or the chip maker's own site. A newer driver sometimes adds Vulkan 1.3. unconfirmed
2. If there's no newer driver, this hardware is below what Luduvo needs right now. Isaac confirmed a DirectX 11 renderer is in development. Isaac on DirectX 11
