vk error device lost crash and quick fix (nvidia user)

[Malakai111]

I noticed this was an issue people had several years ago. I just installed the game and had the same crash. Newly built PC with Win 11, 4070ti, core i9 13900ks. In the nvidia control panel, go into manage 3d settings. At the bottom of the list where it says Vulkan/OpenGL present method. With it set to "Auto" or "Prefer Native", the game crashed. When set to "Prefer layered on DXGI Swapchain" the game launched and seems to be running fine now.

Noticed this issue just recently where I never had it before. Did they mess something up with a recent patch? I wish they'd just work on supporting other rendering methods. Directx is industry standard and a lot more stable than Vulkan. It's crazy that it isn't supported.

well, I get the game recently and started to play... some plays I restarted because Im learning how to play and understanding the lore of 40k. All is new for me. ok, nothing diferent from other games like civilization as style of the game, very good and enjoyable, but the problem is that now I cant play even 5 minutes without crash the game and everything wont work anymore and blackscreen becomes all u have. The message error lies exacly in the nvidia and I was searching today and yesterday to find the fix... gladly I find you post. ty, hope that works... if it wont work I will came here again but for now ty again
