I was using Brave with Vulkan turned on, however now its showing disabled.
Vulkan flags are missing from the Brave://flags recently on Linux.
Starting Brave with the vulkan flag from terminal is ignored.
Version 1.73.89 Chromium: 131.0.6778.69 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Probably @Mattches will know whom to consult, re:
“Vulkan flags are missing from the Brave://flags recently on Linux.”
@conromia it looks to have been removed upstream by Chromium in general. I’m not certain as to why but I can tell you that I had seen numerous reports of usability issues from people who had Vulkan enabled. I’m not sure if it’s related to that or something else.
But at least wanted to point out it’s not just a change on Brave but just is an inherited change.
Thanks mate, appreciate you looking into this for me.
According to this reddit post, this flag is incorrectly removed in current Chromium version.
The current workaround is to enable Temporarily unexpire M130 flags flag in brave://flags, so the Vulkan flag is displayed in that page.
I assume it will be fixed after the next major Chromium release, and Brave’s Chromium engine is upgraded to that version.
