DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

Create an Android TV device say with API 31 arm and RAM 1024 MB
Start the emulator

Expected: The emulated device has 1024 MB of RAM

Actual: The emulated device has 2048 MB of RAM

The issue is simple - emulator increases the RAM to whatever is required, but the GUI does not check for it so it allows you to set whatever value.

ATTACH LOG FILES (Select Help > Show Log in Files, or Show Log in Finder on a Mac) The related output is INFO Increasing RAM size to 2048 MB

Hi,

would you try to boot emulator with this command line flag:

-feature -Vulkan

and let us know if it fixes the issue for you? Also would you tell us what graphics card you are using and what is the graphics driver version?

The feature flag did solve the issue for me. Thank you very much. I don't use a dedicated graphics card. Only the internal one from the CPU.

Your integrated GPU is supposed to support Vulkan 1.2. I would need more work to figure out why it crashes without that flag.

Marked as fixed.

If there is more information that I can provide please let me know.
