I had the same problem and finally solved it, maybe it works for you too. Check in poe folder in program files. There should be two exes, one for 32 bits and another for 64. Chances are that you are running the 32 bits launcher unknowingly. Run the game with the other and you should be able to change your renderer.

Thank you so much! I have no idea why I had the 32bit launcher on my desktop. I launched from the start menu before and used Vulkan fine.. then today my fps went way down and I died from graphic stuttering 4x before I saw it had switched back to DirectX. Why even include a 32bit launcher these days is beyond me.

EDIT.. NVM still doesn't work :( game is freakin unplayable going back to the stuttering directx crap after getting a taste of Vulkan. gtx 1080, play everything else on ultra and PoE on low with sound off.

If you change it to vulkan and rerun poe it runs in 32 mode because it cant work for vulkan it seems

Change it back to dx11 and it will run 64/allow you to select (but if you do poe will crash and change it back to dx11)

I think only newer GPUs can run vulkan (my 5850 cant it seems)

I solved it a different way. I had vulkan working fine til i started messing with things, so i backtracked. one of the things I did was change the compatibility in the properties of PathOfExile_x64Steam.exe.
I checked the box to "disable display scaling on high DPI settings".
Once i unchecked that, I could switch to Vulkan renderer again in the settings at login screen.

Then change to Vulkan Renderer in settings at login screen.
hope it helps someone.

I did the path download for Vulkan, but it is not showing up;

I tried to logout POE and change manually the renderer_type=DirectX11 to renderer_type=Vulkan but nothing happened, it still directx11;

So I log out of Path of Exile and tried to enable the Vulkan Renderer in the login screen but the area is gray, the directx11 is there with gray collor, I can't swap or change or click, its perm, the Renderer area box is gray,

sending s/s's , cheers!!! and thanks for your time!! ❤️
