Calling `vkCreateFence` with the `VK_FENCE_CREATE_SIGNALED_BIT` flag followed with `vkResetFences` returns `VK_ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED`. This error is not a valid error code for this function.
I don't think anything in the specs forbids doing this.
Windows 7 64bits
Radeon HD 7950
Driver version 16.15.2111.1001 Beta1
Erratum:
It's the fact to call `vkGetFenceStatus` afterwards that returns an error, not the fact that you reset the fence.
I believe we have fixed this issue recently. Can you check if you can reproduce this with the latest driver version?
