      Retropie version: 4.4
      PC: Intel NUC5 i3 (GPU: Intel HD Graphics 5500 (Broadwell GT2))
      OS: Ubuntu 18.04

      Everything is working as expected when using RetroArch with the GL driver.
      Once switching to Vulkan driver, games will load, but RA will crash if you at any time try to bring up the menu.

      Error message in log when crash occurs:
      [ERROR] [Vulkan]: Unknown format.

      Observed with multiple RA backends, and also when launching the RetroArch menu directly from the RetroPie menu.

      Full runncommand.log paste

        @legion28 It's a bug that seems to have been fixed in the next version. You'll have to wait until next version and check it out or switch to the XMB input driver and see if the crash is gone.

            @mitu Sure enough, I built RetroArch from master, and it resolved the crash.

            I'll live with the master branch build until an official 1.7.6 release.
