Cannot find vulkan adapter on Mesa 25 + RADV

[matteodev8]

Description
After upgrading to Mesa 25 from Mesa 24 today, I am experiences issues with my bevy app. It errors on launch with wgpu complaining about surface configuration failed: incompatible window kind and Device::create_render_pipeline error: Internal error in ShaderStages(VERTEX | FRAGMENT) shader:

Repro steps

1. use Mesa 25.0.1
2. run project

Expected vs observed behavior
Should open the window

Crashes

This only started happening after I've upgraded my Debian Testing install ~3 days ago.

Both apps seem to run "fine", though

Update: after some apt upgrade, I no longer get the warnings!

I had the same problem using mesa 25. Downgrading mesa and vulkan-radeon to version 24 served as an effective workaround.

[arcaspo]

I am having the same problem. I think it might be because wgpu can't find the vulkan drivers and defaults to gl renderer which causes lots of errors?
When I try force the project to run with vulkan with WGPU_BACKEND=vulkan it runs but at a very low framerate because it uses llvmpipe instead of proper drivers

AdapterInfo { name: "llvmpipe (LLVM 19.1.7, 256 bits)", vendor: 65541, device: 0, device_type: Cpu, driver: "llvmpipe", driver_info: "Mesa 25.0.1 (LLVM 19.1.7)", backend: Vulkan }

wgpu-info returns this:

Adapter 0:
                 Backend: Vulkan
                    Name: llvmpipe (LLVM 19.1.7, 256 bits)
                VendorID: 0x10005
                DeviceID: 0x0
                    Type: Cpu
                  Driver: llvmpipe
              DriverInfo: Mesa 25.0.1 (LLVM 19.1.7)
        WebGPU Compliant: true
Adapter 1:
                 Backend: Gl
                    Name: AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT (radeonsi, navi23, LLVM 19.1.7, DRM 3.61, 6.13.6-200.fc41.x86_64)
                VendorID: 0x1002
                DeviceID: 0x0
                    Type: Other
                  Driver: <empty>
              DriverInfo: 4.6 (Core Profile) Mesa 25.0.1
        WebGPU Compliant: false

but vulkaninfo | grep "GPU id" returns this:

GPU id = 0 (AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT (RADV NAVI23))
GPU id = 1 (llvmpipe (LLVM 19.1.7, 256 bits))

So I think wgpu must not be able to find or use the radv driver for some reason.

If you set up env_logger::init(), and then do RUST_LOG=warn in your environment, does wgpu warn of anything. Can you post your full vulkan info?

[arcaspo]

When I set up env_logger wgpu warns

[WARN  wgpu_hal::vulkan::adapter] Adapter is not Vulkan compliant, hiding adapter: AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT (RADV NAVI23)
[WARN  wgpu_hal::gles::egl] Re-initializing Gles context due to Wayland window

This is the full vulkaninfo
vulkaninfo.txt

[cwfitzgerald]

This is most likely https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/12799 which has already been fixed. In the mean time you can set WGPU_ALLOW_UNDERLYING_NONCOMPLIANT_ADAPTER=1 in your environment or enable the InstanceFlag until this bug is fixed.

Closing this as not-our-issue, but if any additional things come up, please let me know and we can re-open.
