Breakpoint: Vulkan Crash Fix

After buying this game and getting a PhD in skull-fu***ry BS that doesn't work I present to you the solution (maybe, probably, "worked for me™").

THE Fix

So here's what worked for me:

1. Go to Nvidia control panel
2. Manage 3D settings -> Program settings
3. Select Breakpoint as the program to customize
4. The last option is "Vulkan/OpenGL present method" select "Prefer layered on DXGI Swapchain"
5. Test if it fixed the crash

Should look like below:



I have tested for about 1 hour, running benchmarks and playing, even turning on overlays and afterburner which supposedly crash Vulkan in this game immediately.
Before this, without changing anything else, my game would insta-crash on entering open world or even running the in-game benchmark.

For reference:
-Vulkan all settings are Ultimate except Fog at High, 1440p, 85fps lock and the game never drops below 85.
-DX11: I had to drop settings to High, put res scaling at 90 and barely got 75fps.



Let me know if this works for anyone else.

This method no longer works on new Nvidia drivers.

BTW guys to fix this crash its easy, because the devs are stupid lol and can't manage to do some normal save files. So to fix this go in your documents and My Games and delete the Breakpoint folder and the game will be fixed after that EVERY big update Breakpoint reach is Breakpoint and don't run correctly because something is happening in this folder on big update.

Simply turning off overlays in ubi connect settings fixed it for me.
