So, the package maintainer finally updated all the Arch Vulkan packages to 190 (except 191 for vulkan-headers). This still didn’t fix the problem like I thought it would, so I poked around in the code. I found that the struct with the missing getVkHeaderVersion method was actually defined in ALVR, so I added the method myself. Now everything compiles and runs. The patch is in #789.

Also, I think the problem ‘const struct alvr::VkContext::dispatch’ has no member named ‘getVkHeaderVersion’ is more likely problem of the Vulkan library itself.

Comparing files /usr/include/vulkan/vulkan_funcs.hpp from version 1.2.185 with the same file of 1.2.188 makes it clear there is a new assertion in this file: VULKAN_HPP_ASSERT( d.getVkHeaderVersion() == VK_HEADER_VERSION ); that is absent in 185 version.

No, I used standard Arch packages. To downgrade, I used the downgrade script from the AUR.

Finally, It worked:

sudo downgrade vulkan-headers
choose version 1.2.131
yay alvr

Thank you!
