205	EXITCODE_VK_CREATEINSTANCE_FAILED	Known to occur on notebooks with AMD CPU (has a Radeon Integrated GPU) + NVidia GPU, having old pre-installed AMD-GPU drivers Known to occur with old OBS version installed (even when not running!) Usually vulkaninfo will report errors	Exit Code 205
210	EXITCODE_VK_CREATE_SURFACE_FAILED	Vulkan Create Surface Failed.	Exit Code 210
211	EXITCODE_VK_CREATE_SWAPCHAIN_FAILED	Graphic device initialization issue.	Exit Code 211
212	EXITCODE_VK_NO_PHYSICAL_DEVICE	Known to occur on notebooks with AMD CPU (has a Radeon Integrated GPU) + NVidia GPU, having old pre-installed AMD-GPU drivers Usually vulkaninfo will report errors	Exit Code 212
215	EXITCODE_VK_NO_COMMON_GRAPHICS_AND_PRESENT_QUEUE	The problem occurred, because the game failed to initialize a Vulkan surface, used for rendering.	Exit Code 215
220	EXITCODE_VK_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER	The game determined that you are running with outdated graphic drivers which are not compatible with our Vulkan graphics engine. Make sure to update drivers to the latest version.	Exit Code 220
221	EXITCODE_VK_INCOMPATIBLE_RUNTIME	The game determined that you are running with a Vulkan runtime older than 1.0.38 (which is not compatible with our Vulkan graphics engine). Make sure to update drivers to the latest or minimum required version.	Exit Code 221
222-231	EXITCODE_VK_MAIN_DEVICE_*,	This occurs, when the game lost access to the physical graphics device (i.e. the GPU).	Exit Codes 222-231 and 1028
1028	EXITCODE_RUNTIME_VULKAN_ON_LOST_DEVICE
232	EXITCODE_VK_MAIN_UNHANDLED	Unhandled Vulkan error.	Exit Code 232
233	EXITCODE_VK_ENUMERATE_EXTENSION_PROPS_COUNT	The problem occurred, because the game failed to retrieve the number of Vulkan extension properties.	Exit Code 233
235	EXITCODE_VK_NO_TRANSFER_QUEUE	GFX engine initialization error	Exit Code 235
1003	EXITCODE_RUNTIME_UI_INIT	The issue occurred because the UI system failed to be initialized.	Exit Code 1003
1009	EXITCODE_RUNTIME_LUAENGINE_INIT	The issue occurred because the Lua engine failed to be initialized.	Exit Code 1009
1027	EXITCODE_RUNTIME_VULKAN_UNDEFINED	Vulkan ErrorCode -13 (Unknown Error)	Exit Code 1027
1046	EXITCODE_RUNTIME_SHADER_LOAD_1	Probably a corrupted installation of the game Possibly mods modifying/removing mandatory shaders	Exit Code 1046
1061	EXITCODE_RUNTIME_LOST_DEVICE	The issue occurred because the game ran into a lost device condition and failed to restore the device.	Exit Code 1061
1062	EXITCODE_RUNTIME_CREATE_SWAPCHAIN	The issue occurred because the game failed to create a so called swap chain.	Exit Code 1062
1065	EXITCODE_RUNTIME_INDEX_IMPORT_1	The issue occurred because the start menu failed to be initialized. This can happen, if mods are involved and break mandatory index files (f.e. the index/components.xml file) the game requires to start up correctly.	Exit Code 1065
1069	EXITCODE_RUNTIME_INIT_STARTMENU_MODULE	The issue occurred because the start menu failed to be initialized. This can happen, if mods are involved if they break mandatory game files (most likely certain library files).	Exit Code 1069
1079	EXITCODE_RUNTIME_IDMAP_ASSIGN_NEW	The issue occurred because the game is running out of available object IDs.	Exit Code 1079
1096	EXITCODE_RUNTIME_VULKAN_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY	The issue occurred because the GFX engine ran into a Vulkan out of host memory error.	Exit Code 1096
1106	EXITCODE_RUNTIME_STARTMENU_INIT	The error occurs because the game failed to start the background scene for the start menu, which is mandatory for the start menu to work.	Exit Code 1106
1109	EXITCODE_RUNTIME_VULKAN_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY	The error occurs because the graphics card ran out of memory This can happen on notebooks with multiple GPU's, when auto-selection picked the wrong GPU.	Exit Code 1109
1110	EXITCODE_RUNTIME_MEDIUM_LIBRARY_LOAD	Failed to initialize the "medium" library	Exit Code 1110
1113	EXITCODE_RUNTIME_OUT_OF_MEMORY	It's assumed that the crash occurs because the game ran out of system memory. Note that in normal cases this should not happen with 64-bit applications and usually indicates an issue with the system setup.	Exit Code 1113
1114	EXITCODE_RUNTIME_OUT_OF_HANDLES	Ran out of space to create new objects of a specific asset-type	Exit Code 1114
