    Vulkan keeps crashing

    (So basicly I left playing this game for a while because of the low fps then heard the vulkan and returned to play and what a suprise! The only hope that I got from the vulkan update ended with crashing right on my face)
    I launch the game from steam by selecting "Launch Vulkan" and it says "Launching" after that without an error it closes itself/stops launching

    YEah I have the same issue too. I get the option in uplay but it will not launch just loads then shuts down and take me to the UBI crash report screen.

    Same here (although it doesn't even give me the option to start with vulkan so I have to swap the names of the .exe files). Optimizing shaders, then black screen, then crash and "send error report" window.

    Vulkan starting problem

    i have the same issue i think,
    i reinstalled r6 after putting in a new gpu and extra drive (now i have a C drive and D drive),after installing r6 on my new driver (D).
    i can play the normal version of the game no problem but if i try to start up vulkan it crashes and gives me the option to send a crash report (wich i already did multiple times).
    i thought it had to do with files being stuck on the C drive but the normal or base game work perfectly

    Sorry for my bad English or sentencing, hope somebody can help me out

    (computer specs: Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7600K CPU @ 3.80GHz, 3792 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)

    (Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 8.00 GB)

    dont realy know what is relevant to run vulkan

    contact me if this thread isnt clear or want extra information

    Hey there.

    Have you tried the steps suggested by Keo in the thread linked above yours?

    I don't know if this will help, but if you are using an in-game overlay such as MSI Afterburner to display frames per second and hardware utilization data, try setting the Application Detection Level to "None" in RivaTuner Statistics Server. Perhaps there is a conflict with the Vulkan API.
