You need to disable the Vulkan apps to talk to the emulator.

To do so, just create the file ~/.android/advancedFeatures.ini (it doesn't exist already) and add the following lines:

Vulkan = off
GLDirectMem = on

(For Windows users the path should be C:\Users\%USER%\.android\advancedFeatures.ini)

Couldn't run an emulator for APIs 29 and 30 getting the error in the question. This lonely answer in a dark corner of Stack Overflow solved it for me. Thank you. – Cheticamp Jul 22 '21 at 12:42
This seems working also on Linux for Emulator version 32. For an alternative see also: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-troubleshooting#cannot-open – wiredolphin Apr 28 '23 at 10:54
