Why does Intercept Vulkan vkCreateInstance crash

Graphics Device, Driver, & APIs
1

I cloned the NativeRenderingPlugin project from GitHub, modified the #define SUPPORT_VULKAN 0 to 1 in PlatformBase.h file, compiled RenderingPlugin.dll based on Vulkan SDK 1.3 in Visual Studio 2022 Community, and set the dll file to load on startup in the Unity project. However, every time I open the project it crashes. After multiple tests, I found that it always crashes when executing Hook_vkCreateInstance() function in RenderAPI_Vulkan.cpp, even after switching to different Unity versions.

When checking the Editor.log file, the log for Unity 2022.3 is

I hope to customize vkCreateinstance and vkCreateDevice. How can I solve the crash issue?

I met the same problem when I set the NativeRenderPlugin to preload. I have the same requirement to customize vkCreateinstance and vkCreateDevice. And I try to enable Validation layer in VkInstanceCreateInfo when calling vkCreateinstance but nothing written.

I also have the same problem.I want to know the solution too.

I also have the same problem :tired_face:

Just found the soultion

When I upgraded my graphics card from 1060 to 2060, the problem was solved. So, could this be a bug in the graphics card driver?
