Crashes, 5700 XT AMD Issue?

Reposting for visibility

Vulkan Workaround for AMD crashes (thanks to Svazzz)
Download dx->vulkan translation layer
https://github.com/Joshua-Ashton/d9vk/releases/download/0.40.1/d9vk-0.40.1.tar.gz
Unpack all *dll files from x64 (or x32 if you run 32bit windows) directory into Path of exile directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Grinding Gear Games\Path of Exile or \Steam\steamapps\Path of exile (or whatever steam uses). Note, .tar.gz is native Linux archive format but almost any normal archive manager should be able to handle it.


video proof on Old fields (I had 100% crash rate at this location before):

To revert the workaround, simply delete the the copied files from the game directory.


Note: As the game runs with this under Vulkan instead of DirectX, the shaders are recompiled on the go. This means every first time you encounter something new, there will be FPS drop (can be massive lasting 2 seconds if lot of new things are introduced) . This will significantly improve the longer you play (restarting game is no problem). But still this is not recommended for HC players

I said the same thing after day 1.. I like PoE and I love the league mechanic.. but not gonna hard restart my computer repeatedly .. hopefully in the next few days the fix comes out .. granted puts some of us WAY behind the masses, but is what it is ..
i also crash when i try do spawn the metamorph guy i have 5700xt i hope they fix it soon im lvl 90 and i havent done the league mechanic yet it sucks
the workaround works so far for me except i do now get a crash when i alt+TAB. so thats new. anyone else getting that?
Same crashes with a new error.

It is unofficial workaround, so it is possible new issues can arise. I am playing in windowed fullscreen mode, and I don't have issues with alt tabbing. You might want to try it, but no guarantees.

Actually the funny thing on this workaround is, that it was developed and is used to make windows games working better on Linux (DX implementation sucks on Linux but Vulkan is quite good). Using it to make windows game to work better on windows is kinda awkward :D

RX 5700, had all types of crashes, but the moment i turned off enhanced sync, no crashes the whole time, can even kill metamorph.

yea everytime i try to change that even with alt+ENTER it crashes the same way. oh well.
Has there been any "official" word on how the fix is going? Anyone know?

Last I heard they bought a RX5700 and had it at the "shop" attempting to recreate and find a fix..

Since then its been radio silence (I think)
mine started crashing my pc on launching the game now.

reinstalling POE maybe that will help idk
