Vulkan crash fix pls!!!

[Roy-ARJ]

Literally tried everything from turning off FidelityFX Sharpening then turning Fog settings to low and fog background blur to off still crashes immediately. CTD without error. Any potential fixes?? Or is it Nvidia driver issue again?

I can only tell you what has worked for me. I've tried the following to no avail:

-Lower settings
-Run vulkaninfo.exe and scroll to top. See if you have any layers which rely on an older version and uninstall or update the programs if possible
-Disable full screen optimizations for GRB_vulkan.exe and run as admin
-Set opengl/vulkan present method for GRB_vulkan.exe in nvidia control panel to layered on DXGI swapchain
-Disable BG/monitoring apps/anti-malware
-Disable overlays

Can't roll back drivers to a version which supposedly works. Some people have apparently had luck with the above suggestions.

In my case, I can run the game at ultra 3440x1440 on a 4070ti but have to limit the fps to 60. So far I've played for close to 10 hours since without a hitch or crash. I know the gpu is capable of much more, but I get none of the stutterfest like with DX11.

Beyond trying a cap, you might also try finding an older Vulkan runtime. You'll likely have to find and delete your current files and install the old version. I personally don't feel compelled to go this far with it for one game.

Same here. Vulkan crashes to desktop. I don't even try to run in Vulkan.

So no other way then? I don't wanna play on DX11 API, it's a stutter fest on Nvidia 4000 series GPUs. Wish this game had DX12. AMD ruins games!

Vulkan Crashing here as well, after the latest update

Try any fps cap you know will cut your gpu usage to something below full capacity. Mine runs around 60-70% but at least is smooth and doesn't crash anymore.

It doesn't appear nvidia is acknowledging the problem and I believe they even removed this from their known issues several drivers ago without ever issuing a fix.

Ubisoft is not going to do anything at this point because they've ceased support for the game. The most you will get is a generic scripted response.

I don't know if this will work for you but, Vulkan quit on me so I went DX11 then after about a hour I went back to Vulkan and it worked.

Don't know what system your running but this is mine. https://youtu.be/6G-yO844Ypk

Glad im not alone. been playing the game for a 8 hours now since the sale and have had no issues until i updated my Nvidia drivers. I cant roll back either for some reason. I dont have crashing i just randomly get 9 FPS and my GPU is like its not even running if i go to Tacmap or Loadout. If i just stay in main gameplay, I have no issues.

Hey. idk if anyone knows this already, but i am just having to turn my graphics to overall high or very high. if i use ultra it lags a lot. only way i can actually play the game. Overall high settings is still quite good visually. It is worth the compromise if it means the game will keep running smoothly. Hope this help someone else.

Cannot say. Vulkan is a bust. But the game plays very well on the RTX3080. Settings are all High/Ultra.

I have a RTX 4070 Ti and i can also play on all Ultra maxed out but the thing is it kinda feels choppy, fps is around 95-125 but doesn't feel smooth like Vulkan. On Vulkan it runs 135-175 and feels so smooth but it crashes a lot and isn't stable by any means. So should i try some High settings like you did? Can you pls share your settings for DX11?? That will be a huge help.

vulkan kept crashing for me too (4070TI) both in game and the benchmark. the game world/benchmark would load and then crash shortly thereafter. the game never crashed for me at the main menu, only shortly after the game world loaded.

i optimised using gforce experience (ultimate quality) and still it crashed. from the fps counter in the benchmark it was trying to render @ something like ~130 fps.

i then tried enabling vsync and found it no longer crashed. vsync for my monitor is much lower @ 60hz. performance for me is now buttery smooth 100% of the time.

i don't know if that's a solution for everyone, or even if it's an acceptable solution, but that's how i solved it.

I had this bs too, go into game folder and just launch from the “GRB UPP Vulcan” application, no problem when I’d launched game that way, no idea why this is a thing

dont see any GRB UPP Vulcan only GRB_Vulkan.exe and when i launch that it still crashes :/

I also been having crashes with Vulkan with the latest nvidea drivers. Rolledback with clean install still crashes. Made setting low with vsync same issue. Just gave up and used directx11. Dont know why this happened but glad I'm not alone atleast.
