"Vulkan Device Lost"

[Holografix]

what does that error message mean? I get that message when a game crashes.

[_I_]

does it crash when using dx?


or with any other gpu demanding tasks? (could be psu)
try the render test in gpuz, and watch the clocks, make sure they dont dip, and temps stay cool

We went over this above. The game only runs via Vulkan.
The only real fix for him at this point given what we've tried, is to just disable Ray Tracing in this game.

But yes, please ensure its not a thermal throttle issue also.
But OP said with RT enabled in this game, the game basically crashes at a certain spot every time. So sounds much more like an actual game issue to me.

update:

i ran gpu caps viewer's rendering demos and there was no clock dip and temps stayed 'relatively' cool.

it's gotta be the game.

In know it is a old post but I have the saem problem in another game and the "Device Lost" error came for min in DX12 quite alot a day. But using Vulkan it sometimes crahes no time a day

So try to isntall the newest Windows Vulkan API DLL

https://sdk.lunarg.com/sdk/download/1.3.268.0/windows/VulkanRT-1.3.268.0-Installer.exe

you know what, the problem I and others had in this thread, the whole "Vulkan device lost" in the game was fixed when the developer patched it.

it's not player side solvable. it has to be done on the developer's side. Whatever game you are experience this problem with, you should message the developers about it.

If this is happening for you in Enshrouded, I believe I managed to fix it by going to:

Nvidia Control Panel -> Manage 3D settings -> Program Settings -> Enshrouded -> Vulkan/OpenGL present method (at the very bottom) -> switched it from Auto, to Prefer Native.

I have now been running Enshrouded for 48 hours (no restarts), and I have received 0 crashes.

L.E. I dunno how to do this for AMD, sorry. Maybe someone else can check and post.

3D apps will use that however Games will not.

Games use whatever is bundled with GPU Drivers, or include such specific version DLLs within the game folder.

Gamers never need those Vulkan API stand-alone installers. They update the Vulkan by updating the GPU Driver.
