Are you unable to start Medium? Are you crashing?

We’ve been noticing a rash of “Medium: Failure to Start” reports. After an investigation, we’ve found that sometimes Vulkan, a fairly new graphics API we started using with 2.0,  will fail to initialize and cause Medium not to start.

Most of the time, the failure to initialize is due to an out of date graphics driver issue. The normal driver upgrade process doesn’t always reliably resolve this problem:  the drivers are corrupt, or the install didn’t do so correctly. To amend, we recommend a manual upgrade process following the instructions below:

In some cases, Medium is simply incompatible with a PC configuration.

If you've already made sure you're on the latest graphic card, please post with the following information for fastest support: 
  • Include your Oculus_Medium.log from C:\Users\{username}\AppData\LocalLow\Oculus\Medium\log
  • Include your GPU/ CPU/ OS
Thanks!

Hey @StYoukii, unfortunately looks like you've hit the exact problem I'm describing in my post (I can tell because your logs show "Vulkan verify failure (-4) at line 453 of src\Vulkan\renderDeviceVulkan.cpp") 

Please update your graphics drivers and repair your Vulkan drivers according to the instructions posted.  Let me know if you run into problems there!

Hello, i have the issue. When i start medium i have a white window and nothing happens. Later i get the info that medium is not responding. I have reinstalled the driver two times. I have reinstalled medium also and deleted the user preferences. I have installed the driver once as the express installation and once as a new installation. The log still states that vulcan fails. No other rift app or game has an issue like this. Please help. It worked fine a few months prior. I wanted to start it up again but no luck 😞

Hi @AtraDemonica,  thanks for posting your display info. I can see you're using a 780Ti, which is lower than Medium's recommended spec. I'm sorry, but you're unable to use Medium with your current configuration. Medium's recommended spec is i5 CPU, NVIDIA 1060 or AMD for best performance. If you'd like to be rolled back to 1.3.3 to continue using Medium, please email medium@oculus.com.
