IntelARC, OpenGothic: Vulkan driver crash

[Try]

Hello! I'm working on opensource game project and recently got a ARC crash report.

Github ticket: https://github.com/Try/OpenGothic/issues/426

GPU: Intel(R) Arc(TM) A750 Graphics
0x00007ff60b54f456: dbg::call_stack<64u>::collect(unsigned int) in C:\OpenGothic\stable-1891\Gothic2Notr.exe
0x00007ff60b3cf8bc: CrashLog::dumpStack(char const*) in C:\OpenGothic\stable-1891\Gothic2Notr.exe

0x00007fff64670f4e: KiUserExceptionDispatcher in C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll
0x00007ffed8c8c132: ctlTemperatureGetState in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\iigd_dch_d.inf_amd64_aad518f1f2838431\igvk64.dll
0x00007ffed8bc0d78: ctlTemperatureGetState in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\iigd_dch_d.inf_amd64_aad518f1f2838431\igvk64.dll
0x00007ffee368916d: vkDestroyDescriptorPool in C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\vulkan-1.dll
0x00007ffed2bd021a: ...\libTempest.dll

After initial investigation conclusion was made that, something is not working quite correct in driver, when VkDescriptorSetLayoutBinding::descriptorCount is zero.

In this scenario allocation works, but than driver fails to de-allocate descriptor pool later.

Hi, Jean and thanks for reply!

You almost right: one of the players reported crash on ARC. On my side I don't have this particular GPU.

> Have you been able to replicate this error on third-party graphics?

No, at home I have NVidia 3070 and Intel UHD. NVidia - re reproduction at all. UHD testing is limited (game requires rayQuery to hit offended code-path), but unit testing works.

Also no warnings in Vulkan validation layers

Hi, Jean!

Yes, I've advised player to update his driver and also point him to this forum. Unfortunately he didn't responded yes.

We can close this case for now, assuming that fix helped him, and reopen if he will comeback.

Regards, and thanks for your help!
