There is no VK\_API\_VERSION\_1\_2 in the Vulkan header file from the official repository, but I am using the header files from VulkanSDK, there is this define there.

What happens if I use VK\_API\_VERSION\_1\_2 and things from this API version in GLFW 3.3.4?

Are you talking about the file [deps/glad/vulkan.h](https://github.com/glfw/glfw/blob/33cd8b865d9289cfbcf3d95e6e68e4050b94fcd3/deps/glad/vulkan.h)? This is a loader [generated by glad2](https://github.com/Dav1dde/glad/tree/glad2) used in the the vulkan test code. It’s not used by the core GLFW library.

You can use any version of Vulkan with GLFW, but it’s worth reading the [GLFW: Vulkan guide](https://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/vulkan_guide.html) first.
