Can it? Do you have evidence of this happening?
Yes, that was how I found these problems, I am not finding these by reading the code.
I think this happens when you run inside Xvfb (so llvmpipe) but while also have a real GPU. If I also point wine to the lavapipe vulkan icd file, then swapchain creation succeed and no memory problem were seen. so maybe something to do with driver/device selection.
