Как скачать оригинальный vulkan-1.dllПри запуске некоторых игр пользователи могут столкнуться с ошибкой «Не удается продолжить выполнение кода, поскольку система не обнаружила vulkan-1.dll» или «Запуск программы невозможен, так как на компьютере отсутствует vulkan-1.dll».

В этой пошаговой инструкции подробно о том, как скачать vulkan-1.dll с официального сайта или в комплекте драйверов для Windows 11, Windows 10 и 7, чтобы исправить ошибку при запуске игр и программ.

Vulkan-1.dll в составе Vulkan Runtime Libraries в комплекте драйверов видеокарты

Ошибка система не обнаружила vulkan-1.dll

Vulkan-1.dll представляет собой один из файлов, входящих в комплект Vulkan Runtime Libraries — библиотек, которые могут использоваться в различных играх для Windows 11, 10 или Windows 7 (а также других платформ) с игровыми движки от Valve и не только.

Свойства оригинального файла vulkan-1.dll

Не следует вручную скачивать отдельный файл vulkan-1.dll, копировать его в папку System32 или SysWOW64 и пробовать зарегистрировать в системе: с большой вероятностью, это не решит проблему и, кроме этого, не вполне безопасно.

Пакет библиотек Vulkan Runtime Libraries по умолчанию поставляется и устанавливается вместе с драйверами видеокарты. Если драйверы видеокарты были установлены системой автоматически, рекомендую вручную скачать последнюю версию драйверов с официального сайта NVIDIA GeForce, AMD Radeon и Intel и установить их. После установки и перезагрузки компьютера, проблема должна быть решена — файлы vulkan-1.dll как x64 так и 32-бит будут установлены в необходимые расположения на вашем компьютере или ноутбуке.

Ранее (в старых версиях драйверов) после установки в списке установленных программ Windows появлялся пункт Vulkan Run Time Libraries, в новых версиях драйверов не появляется. Однако, вы можете легко проверить наличие библиотек Vulkan: нажмите клавиши Win+R, введите vulkaninfo и нажмите Enter. Если откроется окно со служебной информацией о версиях и поддерживаемых функциях Vulkan, значит необходимые DLL в наличии.

Выполнение vulkaninfo в Windows

Следует учитывать следующий момент: если у вас очень старая видеокарта и для неё доступны лишь старые версии драйверов, Vulkan может отсутствовать в комплекте. Вы можете ознакомиться со списком видеокарт и версий драйверов, где vulkan-1.dll и остальные компоненты присутствуют на сайтах:

  • Для NVIDIA GeForce — https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver
  • Для AMD Radeon — https://gpuopen.com/version-table/

Как скачать установщик Vulkan Runtime Libraries (VulkanRT) отдельно с официального сайта

Если предыдущий метод по какой-то причине вам не подходит, вы можете скачать vulkan-1.dll в составе Vulkan Runtime Libraries с официального сайта разработчика:

  1. Зайдите на официальный сайт загрузки Vulkan — https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home
  2. В разделе «Windows» нажмите «Latest Runtime/ZIP» или по файлу установщика в пункте Runtime.
  3. Скачайте файл установщика (Runtime Installer) и запустите установку. Скачать Vulkan Runtime Libraries

После установки Vulkan Runtime Libraries (может потребоваться перезагрузка компьютера), файл vulkan-1.dll будет располагаться в папках C:\Windows\System32 и C:\Windows\SysWOW64 и нужным образом зарегистрирован в Windows. Следует учитывать, что Vulkan может не поддерживаться или иметь ограниченную поддержку на очень старых видеокартах.

Ошибка Vulkan-1.dll по причине заражения вирусами

Первая причина ошибки в библиотеке Vulkan-1.dll – это вирусное ПО. Зачастую вирусы могут взаимодействовать и изменять файлы исполняемых библиотек для дальнейшего проникновения в систему. Перед тем, как скачать Vulkan-1.dll для Windows, необходимо убедится в том, что система не заражена вирусами.

Чтобы данная проблема была решена максимально качественно, вам потребуется:

  • Воспользоваться надёжной антивирусной программой, которая имеет высокие рейтинги и признаётся подавляющим количеством пользователей эффективной в борьбе с любыми вредоносными компонентами.
  • На время проверки закрыть все сторонние программы.
  • При запуске антивируса нужно указывать полный анализ системы, который позволит выявить абсолютно всё, что только возможно.

    Обратите внимание! Если никаких вирусов система не обнаружит, отчаиваться не стоит. Даже наоборот, это очень хорошо, так как от рук злоумышленников не пострадают другие ваши файлы.

В случае обнаружения вредоносных компонентов удалите их и проверьте систему на наличие опасностей ещё раз.
Конфликты антивируса и библиотеки.

Вторая причина очень схожа с первой и заключается в принципе работы антивирусов. Любой из современных антивирусов может изолировать заражённый файл библиотеки Vulkan-1.dll, поместить его в карантин или вовсе безвозвратно удалить с компьютера. В таком случае стоит попробовать переустановить игру, если есть такая возможность. Не хотите ждать – можете переходить к загрузке Vulkan-1.dll с нашего сайта.

Стоит отметить, что, чаще всего, антивирусные программы просто добавляют те или иные компоненты в карантин. Вы можете выполнить восстановление файла, после чего работоспособность игр может вернуться.

Обратите внимание! При работе с файлами, которые антивирус признал опасными, будьте предельно осторожными. Вы должны понимать, что вся ответственность за любые действия лежит лишь на вас.

Если вы решились восстановить файл, для предотвращения дальнейшего его попадания в черный список следует добавить его в перечень исключений.

Дополнительная информация! Есть ещё один вариант, который не следует исключать. Некорректная/неполная установка компонентов игры при инсталляции на компьютер также может вызвать отсутствие библиотеки на компьютере. В таком случае вам потребуется повторно реализовать процесс, чтобы проверить, запустится ли та или иная игра.
