Game crashes with Vulkan API
Hello,

my game crashes in "Chapter 02: The Quarantine Zone" at the point where you have to solve the puzzle to get to the Vortigaunt. But the game only crashes if I have activated the new Vulkan API. As soon as I switch to Direct3D, the game runs stable. This is no big deal for me, because I play the game with Direct3D now. I'm just curious if someone has the same problem or has an idea what it could be?

My system:
Win 10 - 64bit (version 1909)
AMD RX 5700 XT (driver 20.4.2)
Ryzen 3700x
32 Gb DDR4 RAM - 3200Mhz (dual channel)
ROG STRIX X470-F GAMING (BIOS version 5406)
be quiet! STRAIGHT POWER 11 650W

VR headset:
Oculus Quest (software version 16.0)
Oculus Touch controllers

In-Game:
High graphic settings

All drivers are up to date.

Thanks! :-)

Yep. You are totally correct about it crashing using the Vulkan API. Same location where the green trash starts to float. Entering to solve the puzzle, the game will crash.

For me Vulkan API is trashy, less GPU load but at the same time less FPS, lmao.
Changed to Direct3D => better FPS. I mean A LOT BETTER FPS.

Same exact thing happens to me too. I'll try changing the renderer from Vulkan the next time I play.

Oh good. I thought it was just me. Thanks for the heads up on why this is crashing.

Same here. Choppy framerate sometimes and one of my add-ons crashes.
