Summary​

(MAC) Failed Launch w/ Vulkan on 1.11.3 and 1.10.2; Successful with OpenGL on both

Description​

hw: 2020 MBPro (16,2), Intel 5
os: Sonoma 14.2

Game won't launch from Steam with renderer set for Vulkan on either most recent (as of Dec. 13 2023) update 1.11.3 (Peacock) or 1.10.2 (Quill), pdx suggested stable build for crash issues with 1.11.3. Same stalled initialization window followed by either a black screen or CKIII wallpaper with rendered cursor and game sounds indicating I'm on the (not visible) main menu.

Both versions work with OpenGL. All DLCs enabled, no mods tested. Better performance on 1.10.2.

Making the report mostly as background since no direct reference to Vulker/OpenGL behavior on post-1.11.X crash threads. Not saying it's a solution, just an option if you can bear it.

Steps to reproduce​

See desc. Launch from Steam, tested both 1.10.2 and 1.11.3 on OpenGL and Vulkan. Both standard and debug. DLCs enabled, no mods.

Game Version​

1.11.3 (Peacock) also relevant for 1.10.2 (Quill)
