Seems I'm getting an error? Something about Vulkan drivers, despite my video card drivers being up to date

That shouldn't happen!

Could you give me a bit more info on the error and the system you're getting it on? I may be able to make a fix.

I've got a laptop (Toshiba Satellite) that runs windows 10. Graphics card is the Intel HD graphics 5500. Error claims that the graphics card doesn't support the current Vulkan version.

Considering that this is the second game that this has happened with I'm starting to wonder if it really is me that's the problem....

Yeah, your GPU is on the lower end and may not be able to run this game. 

Some Godot games may run by forcing them to run in OpenGL3. Just make a shortcut and add "--rendering-driver opengl3" at the end of the target. This makes Date a Mink 3D look weird, but might work for 2D games.

I don't really understand how to add that command to "the end of the target" after I make the shortcut? Sorry, I'm not the best at some of this computer stuff.

Right click the shortcut and select "Properties". There, you can add "--rendering-driver opengl3" (without the quotes) to the end of the text in box by "Target:". 

I don't really recommend this for Date a Mink 3D since it causes issues with the graphics but it might work well for other games.

Thank you for the help! I'll keep this in mind
