The issue is weird, it crashing while querying available presentation modes. This doesn't look like an ABI issue. Could it be a bug in the Vulkan libraries?

Hey, BitwigStudio dev here. Sorry I couldn't look into this issue yet as I was away but I'll check it out today, and hopefully come up with a fix.

@kIERO, yes changing the graphic backend is a workaround, but can't be set for you by the package.

crashes for me.

Adding opengl support fixes the problem

echo skia-gl > ~/.BitwigStudio/graphics-backend

maybe add it to the PKGBUILD?

Thanks folks, for now downgrading vulkan-icd-loader and vulkan-headers also worked for me (Radeon GPU).

I've opened a ticket with Bitwig support, and they're looking into it - so at least they're aware of the issue as well as the solutions discussed in this comment section.

vtb, I'm not sure what you mean. I tried downloading the package from the archive, extracted libvulkan.so.1.4.309, renamed it to just libvulkan.so, put it in a directory, set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the containing directory, and no dice

EDIT: i figured it out. you need to rename it to libvulkan.so.1 for anyone else who wants to try this themselves

Downloading the previous (1.4.309.0-1) vulkan-icd-loader and setting the path in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable when launching Bitwig also works and doesn't require downgrading the above mentioned packages. EDIT: I downloaded the package as is and extracted it, there were already symlinks in there, so I didn't have to rename anything, just set the path of the directory that contains the .so and symlinks.

I can also confirm that this works for me with a radeon APU

Thanks Gimmeapill! I confirm the downgrade works in my case as well (nvidia)

Got the issue as well (Radeon GPU)

# Problematic frame:
# C  [libvulkan_radeon.so+0x145062]

I managed to get it back by downgrading those two: vulkan-icd-loader (1.4.313.0-1 -> 1.4.309.0-1) vulkan-headers (1:1.4.313.0-1 -> 1:1.4.309.0-1)
