Fix Missing Vulkan-1.dll in DOOM Eternal
The Vulkan-1.dll is related to the Vulkan Graphics API used by the game DOOM. The error Missing Vulkan-1.dll can be caused due to a bunch of reasons such as missing or deleted vulkan-1.dll, a faulty application, damage to the registry, and presence of malicious software on the PC that targets the particular .dll file.
You can fix the problem by updating your GPU and if the problem persists, download the Vulkan-1.dll and install it separately. A simple Google search will present you with a bunch of websites to download the file.
Fix “No Physical Device”, or “Failed To Allocate Video
Memory” Error
This error is usually encountered by PC users who try to play the game on a laptop. Besides the “No Physical Device”, or “Failed To Allocate Video Memory” Error, there are quite a number of other issues laptop users have been facing with the game since day one. If you face the problem, the fix is pretty simple. Update the driver to the latest version released on 19th March for both AMD and Nvidia graphics card users. You can also try the fixes on this post if you are encountering crashing or stuttering problems with DOOM Eternal.
If updating the GPU did not resolve the error, try disabling the integrated GPU (Intel GPU for most users) and use your dedicated GPU. Here are the steps to accomplish it.
- Press Windows + X and click on Device Manager
- Expand Display adapters and right-click on dedicated / Intel HD Graphics
- Select Disable device.
Now try playing the game.

I have only intel (R) HD graphics. I disabled and started the game but still the error ‘The procedure entry point vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\DOOMEternal\DOOMEternalx64vk.exe’ persisted
I don’t know what to do now
Have you updated the graphics card driver. And try to install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Distributable Library.
So you said that but i olny have one gpu .Does that mean that the game just cant run on my pc?
If you have only one GPU the particular fix is not for you. Rest assured you can play the game if the existing GPU meets the requirements. The cause for the error in you particular case lies somewhere else.
Does absolutely anyone know of the “there was an error saving your game” problem because 2 hours into the game launch night after many of those notices frequently popped up my game crashed and it erased all of my save data this error since than has stopped me from playing the game and with aboslutely no help from bethesda support or steam support im here.
I’m getting the following video memory error when I attempt to start Doom Eternal…
Failed to allocate video memory
Total allocated: 3083.417 MiB
Tried to allocate: 536870912 B (512.000 MiB)
I’ve tried the fix above by manually disabling my “AMD Radeon Vega8 Graphics” display adapter and leaving the “Radeon RX 560X” display adapter enabled. I no longer get the error message but it still exits back to my desktop when I try to start Doom Eternal.
I have the latest 20.3.1 AMD driver installed and I’m running AMD Ryzen 5 3550H with 8 GB of RAM (meeting Doom Eternal’s minimum specs when I checked). I’m on an ASUS TUF Gaming Laptop.
Is there something else that I can do to try to get the game working? I am getting the notice at start up that…
AMD graphics drivers do not currently support HDR. AMD is actively working to resolve these issues.
My guess is the problem might actually be with your Video card drivers. Recently, Nvidia launched a new driver update on 23rd to fix the errors caused by the 19th March driver update and also to better support Half-Life Alyx. This driver has a lot of fix for Doom Eternal players. I don’t know if AMD has done the same. If not maybe they will do in the future. You may just have to wait a while. However, if you happen to find any workaround I will be happy to hear about it.
Hello, I have an error related to the Vulkan-1.dll file when I try to launch Doom Eternal
Basically, the game refuses to launch in any way, shape or form. Looking through the crash reports, the issue seems to be that my vulkan-1.dll module on startup gets an Memory Access Violation Error (or in tech terms, error code 0xc0000005)
Please tell me, what causes my vulkan-1.dll to get this error with Doom Eternal in particular. Strangely enough, I can launch Doom 2016 just fine. Also would really appreciate if you would tell me possible fixes for this
Thank you in advance
Access Violation is a complex problem that can arise due to a number of reasons. Do you also have an ExpAddress accompanying the error code?
Here is a bunch of fixes you can try.
– Uninstall the GPU completely using any third-party tools that remove all elements of the driver and install the latest 19th March Driver update.
– Install the redist inside your Doom’s / redist folder.
– On Steam, Verify the integrity of the game.
– Turn off steam overlay
– Uninstall Geforce Experience for now.
Hello when i try to start doom eternal it launching as normal but under the id software logo it crashes with “failed to allocate video memory” error.

Radeon RX470 4GB video card and 8GB system ram.
I tryed installing newest amd driver a couple of times,checked chipset drivers,updated windows(using windows 10 64bit) but it seems nothing works.
Ive tried everything you posted regarding video allocating error…i am on a acer nitro 5 amd laptop
Check if your system meets the minimum specs. You can refer the system requirements on this post-
https://quoramarketing.com/fix-doom-eternal-crashing-stuttering-on-pc/
I think your CPU might not meet the minimum requirements to play the game. For Intel, the minimum requirements are i5 @ 3.3Ghz or better. However, try tuning down the settings to see if it works. The above post should help.
Try increasing the VRAM
