Explanation

Since the time i switched from windows to linux, i was mostly using opengl to run my games and weren’t aware of vulkan capability and since my opengl was not running at good preformance, i tried to switch to vulkan and used it on CS:GO and other titles which supported this feature.

but from the start every time i tried to run these games, they would load up, stay in a black screen and close automatically.

after trying to install packages like vulkan-tools and running vkcube test successfully, the problem was still there and i got to here so maybe someone knows what is happening in here.
