Installed the newest ON1 Photo RAW 2023 today. Installed but wouldn't run, missing vulkan-1.dll file.

Now, my computers (desktop and laptop) are OLD, on-board graphics, but both run ON1 2022.5 without problems.

Will have to troubleshoot and see.

I read the release notes. I think there is even a pop up about this requirement. It stated you now NEED 2GB of dedicated vram for the program to work (this was not required in previous versions), that may be what is hanging you up. Do you have a dedicated video card (discrete on the laptop)and how much video ram does it have?

You could try updating your video drivers for your video card and laptop.

2022.5 seems to have similar requirements, but...

I did see I have a copy of the missing dll on another desktop (even older), so I will see what happens...

I'm still hoping, given the newest Topaz products run. DXO's photo lab 5 runs, also plan on trying photo lab 6.

Just trying to squeeze the last bits (pun intended) before I build my next desktop.

Thanks for the advice.

Well the open GL Could also be the problem. You have to reinstall your video card driver to the latest according to a microsoft article .

Method 2:Update OpenGL Driver in Device Manager

Otherwise, it makes sense to get the OpenGL driver from the graphics driver within Windows 10. That is to say, you can attempt to let Windows device manager find the driver you need.

1. Open Device Manager.
2. Expand Display adapters and then right click the graphics driver to Update driver. Here your display card may be AMD, Intel, or NVIDIA or any other ones with different brands.
3. Try to Search automatically for the updated driver software.

If possible, the Device Manager will locate the latest graphics driver for you. You can install it on Windows 10 in the hope that the OpenGL driver can be updated.

If this is the problem.

If not, I seen an article how to replace the vulcan dll.

https://appuals.com/vulkan-1-dll-is-missing/

It too recommend to reinstall the video driver second, but I say do it first and see if that resolves the issue. If not then try to reinstall the vulcan dll.

Have tried the device manager route already; windows said best driver already installed. It's on-board graphics so...Like I said, an Everything search on this computer didn't find the vulkan-1.dll, just vulkan.dll. However, on an older desktop with on-board graphics, Everything did find a vulkan-1.dll file. My plan is to copy it over, register the dll, and see.

Otherwise, I'll try the install AFTER I run a Macrium backup (from experience, sometimes it's easier to do a restore than backing things out.)

Over the past couple of years I've been surprised that newer software continues to run, but I do have 32Gb of RAM... We shall see.

I downloaded it, but I haven't installed it yet. I want to replace the 500GB SSD with a 1TB. I did a search, and I have eleven listings for that - generally in photo programs.

My understanding is the vulcan dll is for 3d graphics. Does your onboard video card have the ability to do 3d? If not it will not install the dll. But I could be wrong. I guess it if it has the vulcan.dll and not the vulcan-1.dll it probably has 3d graphics on the onboard card.

During black friday Christmas you can get a nice gaming machine for $850 that will run software fast. Like this one.

Just bite the bullet. Or build a desktop for cheap.

But I agree, if the system is fast enough, squeeze every last bit out of it.

I installed and immediately also downloaded new NVIDIA drivers and configured my GPU to do the heavy living. When I ran 2023 PR, I could edit Canon CRx files fine but the pgm crashes consistently when attempt to edit LUMIX RW2 RAW files…

I've been running 22.5 and installed 23 this afternoon. It installed very rapidly, with no problems and runs perfectly. I only have had time to do a few minimal things but will check out the new features when I get the chance. The computer I built some months ago is not high powered but has no problems and runs fast.

Hmm, not sure. I don't have a lumix camera so I went to a site and downloaded an example rw2 file. I was able to edit it fine with no issues. Not sure about setting my nvidia graphics card to do heavy lifting.

Some newer NVIDIA cards don't work with certain features such as NoNoise/Sharpening. ON1 support is working with NVIDIA on solving the issue.

Sent you a PM, "rich." I just downloaded a Lumix ZS70 raw file from DPREVIEW and crashed when I went from browse to edit. Would like to try to file you worked.

I sent you a PM. It is from https://filesamples.com/formats/rw2

don't click on the ads at top and bottom. The first file is sample1.rw2

editing means I slid exposer and some of the other random sliders in the develop module highlights. I might have done something different than you did. You would have to tell me what for me to test.

Amazon Prime probably has those on sale today since it's Prime Day, but I haven't checked.
