Issue description

Game doesn't run on my android phone (Moto G6, Android 9).
I see the launching Godot boot screen logo, then nothing.

I have created a new app to test, same problem.

When the remote debug is attached, I got thousand of logs like those:

E 0:00:22:0472   draw_list_draw: Condition "!dl" is true.
  <C++ Source>   drivers/vulkan/rendering_device_vulkan.cpp:7747 @ draw_list_draw()

  <C++ Error>    Method/function failed. Returning: RID()
  <C++ Source>   drivers/vulkan/rendering_device_vulkan.cpp:1831 @ texture_create()

I'm also getting this (ironically with the same phone) using 4.0 alpha 16.

@dave2 It is not ironic, that's a hint ;) .
Now we need to find other phones with the same issue, and the link between them.

It was shipped with android 8, and upgraded to 9... maybe something like that.

A much more likely link is the GPU the device uses.

I tried my game on another device, this time a Samsung Galaxy Tab S3. Also running Android 9, and with a Adreno 530 GPU (different to the Moto G6 but same family). Same errors.

As of beta 3, I no longer get a looping set of errors about creating a 2-pass render, but it now just exits fairly early with this error:

E 0:00:00:0934   texture_create: Format 'R8_Uint' does not support usage as storage image.
  <C++ Error>    Method/function failed. Returning: RID()
  <C++ Source>   drivers/vulkan/rendering_device_vulkan.cpp:1829 @ texture_create()

Followed by a warning from a singleton being imported. It doesn't appear to get as far as _ready() on a script on the root of the default scene. Could be something broken in a singleton but there's no error messages for them.

Looks like the main error here was fixed by #67227. So closing in favour of #67430 which reports the "R8_Uint" bug more specifically.

[Ajrarn777]

I confirm, issue is fixed in beta 3

Thanks for the follow up..

Just wanted to share, in android export, If MSAA 3d is set to 2x, it renders 3d scenes as a black screen. UI components render fine.
Tested on Pixel 2xl with android 11
