PPSSPP crashes on start after changing renderer backend

[weylyn1]

Hi all,

I have an AMD Radeon R4 GPU and i read somewhere hat it's not recommended to use OpenGL with it, so i changed Rendered backend to Vulkan, PPSSPP crashes whenever i start it. How can i change it without PPSSPP running?

I'm not sure your GPU really supports Vulkan. If it does, make sure your drivers are updated to last version and try most recent PPSSPP build: http://buildbot.orphis.net/ppsspp

Well, I'm not sure about Vulkan support either... At least there should be a warning about it.
The video driver is up-to-date, that's for sure, because i had ton's of problems with upgrading.

Isn't "Vulkan (experimental)" enough?

For AMD GPU I would use Direct3D 11 or 9.
