# Error - Vulkan-1.dll was not found

Created by: Zolarix

We have found an issue where players may see the following error when attempting to launch the game:

"The code execution cannot proceed because vulkan-1.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."

After some investigation, this is due to out of date video card driver software and you do not need to totally reinstall the game. Please do not search for and download the specific DLL file from the Internet as that is not safe. Players should always work to keep their video card driver software up to date to avoid possible issues. Should you encounter this message, check your video card manufacturer's website for driver updates available for download.
