Notes:

* Does not reproduce unless the Vulkan SDK is installed, which can be downloaded from here: [https://vulkan.lunarg.com/home/welcome|https://vulkan.lunarg.com/home/welcome|smart-link]
* If the issue does not reproduce after installing the Vulkan SDK, try running the “Vulkan Configurator” application in the background while testing
* Error: “VULKAN: VALIDATION ERROR: Validation Error: [ VUID-VkImageCreateInfo-flags-09403 ] | MessageID = 0xf53c568c | vkCreateImage(): pCreateInfo->flags is VK_IMAGE_CREATE_SPARSE_BINDING_BIT|VK_IMAGE_CREATE_2D_ARRAY_COMPATIBLE_BIT. The Vulkan spec states: If flags contains VK_IMAGE_CREATE_2D_ARRAY_COMPATIBLE_BIT, flags must not include VK_IMAGE_CREATE_SPARSE_ALIASED_BIT, VK_IMAGE_CREATE_SPARSE_BINDING_BIT, or VK_IMAGE_CREATE_SPARSE_RESIDENCY_BIT (https://vulkan.lunarg.com/doc/view/1.3.290.0/windows/1.3-extensions/vkspec.html#VUID-VkImageCreateInfo-flags-09403)"
