We suggest you install the "GLSL language integration (for VS2017, 2019 and 2022)" extension so you can fully edit your shader files with validations and syntax highligthing.

  • Install the extension: GLSL language integration (for VS2017, 2019 and 2022)
  • By default, it does not support Vulkan shaders. You must activate the external compiler: Tools > Options > GLSL language integration
  • Set "External compiler executable file path" to glslangValidator.exe on your computer
  • Set "Arguments for the external compiler" to: --target-env vulkan1.2
  • Resave your shader file and the validation should now be ok for your Vulkan shader files.
