VulkanUtils crash at UE4 start after fresh source building

Hello everyones,

I was trying to get UE4 running on my Ubuntu 18.04 but it seems a vulkan related error comes in front. Build went well.
I’ve got a Dell XPS 9570 with NVidia GTX1050 enabled and all drivers have been installed.

Fatal error: [File:/home/nox/Projects/UnrealEngine/Engine/Source/Runtime/VulkanRHI/Private/VulkanUtil.cpp] [Line: 772] VulkanRHI::vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceFormatsKHR(Device.GetPhysicalHandle(), Surface, &NumFormats, nullptr) failed, VkResult=-3 at /home/nox/Projects/UnrealEngine/Engine/Source/Runtime/VulkanRHI/Private/VulkanSwapChain.cpp:152 with error VK_ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED 0x00007fc45aa6e3ba libUE4Editor-VulkanRHI.so!FVulkanSwapChain::FVulkanSwapChain(VkInstance_T*, FVulkanDevice&, void*, EPixelFormat&, unsigned int, unsigned int, unsigned int*, TArray<VkImage_T*, TSizedDefaultAllocator<32> >&, signed char, FVulkanSwapChainRecreateInfo*) [/home/nox/Projects/UnrealEngine/Engine/Source/Runtime/VulkanRHI/Private/VulkanSwapChain.cpp:152] 0x00007fc45aaaebff libUE4Editor-VulkanRHI.so!FVulkanViewport::CreateSwapchain(FVulkanSwapChainRecreateInfo*) [/home/nox/Projects/UnrealEngine/Engine/Source/Runtime/VulkanRHI/Private/VulkanViewport.cpp:608] 0x00007fc45aaae925 libUE4Editor-VulkanRHI.so!FVulkanViewport::FVulkanViewport(FVulkanDynamicRHI*, FVulkanDevice*, void*, unsigned int, unsigned int, bool, EPixelFormat) [/home/nox/Projects/UnrealEngine/Engine/Source/Runtime/VulkanRHI/Private/VulkanViewport.cpp:146] 0x00007fc45aab4aed libUE4Editor-VulkanRHI.so!FVulkanDynamicRHI::RHICreateViewport(void*, unsigned int, unsigned int, bool, EPixelFormat) [/home/nox/Projects/UnrealEngine/Engine/Source/Runtime/VulkanRHI/Private/VulkanViewport.cpp:963] 0x00007fc461f3e536 libUE4Editor-SlateRHIRenderer.so!FSlateRHIRenderer::CreateViewport(TSharedRef<SWindow, (ESPMode)0>) [/home/nox/Projects/UnrealEngine/Engine/Source/Runtime/SlateRHIRenderer/Private/SlateRHIRenderer.cpp:333] 0x00007fc4927c6cf0 libUE4Editor-SlateCore.so!SWindow::ShowWindow() [/home/nox/Projects/UnrealEngine/Engine/Source/Runtime/SlateCore/Private/Widgets/SWindow.cpp:1387] 0x00007fc482d3b26e libUE4Editor-MainFrame.so!FMainFrameHandler::ShowMainFrameWindow(TSharedRef<SWindow, (ESPMode)0>, bool, bool) const [/home/nox/Projects/UnrealEngine/Engine/Source/Editor/MainFrame/Private/Frame/MainFrameHandler.h:245] 0x00007fc482d119fe libUE4Editor-MainFrame.so!FMainFrameModule::CreateDefaultMainFrame(bool, bool) [/home/nox/Projects/UnrealEngine/Engine/Source/Editor/MainFrame/Private/MainFrameModule.cpp:228] 0x00007fc49113b578 libUE4Editor-UnrealEd.so!EditorInit(IEngineLoop&) [/home/nox/Projects/UnrealEngine/Engine/Source/Editor/UnrealEd/Private/UnrealEdGlobals.cpp:144] 0x000000000023e445 UE4Editor!GuardedMain(char16_t const*) [/home/nox/Projects/UnrealEngine/Engine/Source/Runtime/Launch/Private/Launch.cpp:152] 0x00007fc498c2c191 libUE4Editor-UnixCommonStartup.so!CommonUnixMain(int, char**, int ()(char16_t const), void (*)()) [/home/nox/Projects/UnrealEngine/Engine/Source/Runtime/Unix/UnixCommonStartup/Private/UnixCommonStartup.cpp:264] 0x00007fc48f431b97 libc.so.6!__libc_start_main(+0xe6) 0x000000000022b029 UE4Editor!_start()

Any idea to resolve this problem?

Thanks anyway.

I have the same error when launching UE4Editor after building UE4.24.3 from sources (release branch) on Ubuntu 19.10.
