I followed the instructions on [Linux Game Development in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.1 Documentation](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-us/Platforms/Linux/BeginnerLinuxDeveloper/SettingUpAnUnrealWorkflow) When I run Engine/Binaries/Linux/UE4Editor, I get the following error Cannot find compatible Vulkan driver (ICD). I did however install Vulkan SDK. I am using Intel Corporation Skylake GT2 [HD Graphics 520] (rev 07). ``` [2019.02.24-14.32.13:061][0]LogVulkanRHI: Display: - Found instance layer VK_LAYER_LUNARG_standard_validation [2019.02.24-14.32.13:061][0]LogVulkanRHI: Display: - Found instance layer VK_LAYER_LUNARG_starter_layer [2019.02.24-14.32.13:061][0]LogVulkanRHI: Display: - Found instance layer VK_LAYER_LUNARG_vktrace [2019.02.24-14.32.13:061][0]LogVulkanRHI: Display: - Found instance extension VK_EXT_debug_report [2019.02.24-14.32.13:061][0]LogVulkanRHI: Display: - Found instance extension VK_EXT_debug_utils Unable to read VR Path Registry from /home/toni/.config/openvr/openvrpaths.vrpath [2019.02.24-14.32.13:072][0]LogHMD: Failed to initialize OpenVR with code 110 [2019.02.24-14.32.13:074][0]LogVulkanRHI: Display: Not using instance layers [2019.02.24-14.32.13:074][0]LogVulkanRHI: Display: Not using instance extensions ``` ---

Try running UE4Editor with the -opengl4 switch. I had the same problem and that worked for me. ---

Go in your build folder (ex Build/Linux) and run the command ./UE4Editor -opengl4. That worked for me too! ---

You might need to install the ‘mesa-vulkan-drivers’ package ---

The (only) solution that worked for me was to install Steam. It installed all the required drivers as it installed itself. (and triggered the software update to install the latest Vulkan drivers) ---

Im a OpenSUSE user so Im not sure is my solution helps to Ubuntu but I solved it by installing package called “Mesa-vulkan-overlay”. It were containing libvulkan\_intel libvulkan\_lvp libvulkan\_radeon Mesa-vulkan-overlay packages too. Now no more Vulkan error ---
