Vulkan is gone now ?

Why in the world vulkan become not available anymore in the settings?

because it was a beta testing and they're either trying to fix a lot of the bugs before rereleasing it or they pulled it because it was too much effort to try and support it.

It's still in the game, it took me 10 seconds to check

It's still there for me, but unfortunately enabling Vulkan immediately crashes the game on my system.

That might be a known issue though:

Client crash when changing renderer type

You may be able to just set the renderer type in the config file instead of via the GUI.
...\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile\production_Config.ini
renderer_type=Vulkan
(in the [DISPLAY] section)

Don't forget to know how to change it back in case you actually can't use the renderer.

Unfortunately, this did not help.

PoE still crashes after showing me the initial loading screen (with the progress bar) followed by a black screen.

It did not even get to the grinding gears animation (either of them).

Had that too, starting with 3.13 on my Windows 7 toaster... playing most of 3.13 with DX wasn't exactly fun (as framerates where even more abysmal), but it was rather stable (had like 1 crash every 12 challenges). Funnily enough, the game sometimes managed to load in Vulkan, like a one in ten chance, but with a bias to working on the second load after a boot.

So here I am, hoping 3.14 will work better on my sidegrade to a hotdog maker.

For some unklnown reason steam or my system i tnink its actualy steam fault, its launches every time x32 version instead of x64. In x32 version vulkan is disbabled and can run only in x64 version. After reload of OS all working good but why i must every time to reboot windows to paly the damn game? Adn i go to folder and laucn x 64 version its still launches x32 version!

Try playing the standalone (non-steam) version.
