I installed Doom 2016 recently and have been trying to play it with Vulkan in order to get better performance. I have found that the drivers supplied through the MyAsus app and the ones that windows force updates don't support vulkan and prevent the game from running. However, the drivers that are installed through AMD's own auto-detect tool, and the adrenaline software do support Vulkan.
The issue however then becomes that when I've downloaded the drivers from AMD's tool instead of Asus, windows will then force update the drivers back to the non-vulkan supporting ones and also gimps the AMD adrenaline software that otherwise would provide updates.
This is very frustrating. I don't understand how the Asus drivers don't support Vulkan, is there a reason for that or is it just that they do very poorly with designating up-to-date drivers for their laptops?
I'm going to try to block the installation of these drivers with the windows show/hide app but I hope this is addressed in a more official way.
