Vulkan unplayable issue - Big black squares on the screen

Okay, this is a bit weird, i had those black sqaures problems. Now i had the new trident mog from the lootboxes with the black mtx weapon effect on it.

I unequiped the trident, but kept the black weapon effect on, i haven't had the black squares in my last 3 maps now, not sure how this causes/fixed the black sqaures tho.

The moment i put on the trident mog again, i got them back.

Edit: Tested the trident with all my weapon MTX and it turns out, i only get it with the black weapon MTX, not with anything else.

Updated to 446.14 driver, cleared shaders - performance is HORRIFIC now. Crazy frame drops, and 1/2 the enemies are still invisible. :(

I heard this problem occurs if you've recently updated to the newest Vulkan drivers from Nvidia so my suggestion here would be to revert your drivers if you can do an older one perhaps from a month ago.

It take time for potato gpu to regenerate shader.

I have 2060 btw?

9 series or older probably need upgrade or just switch back to dx11

Ok, after few tests i want to report a little more on that issue.

I tried to turn off ALL my MTX, and it doesn't changed anything, the black boxes still appear.

Also, my friend using vulkan also see the black boxes at the same time i see them.

For my case, it's related to the plaguebringer ascendency (removing it removes the black boxes)

It has to be something with corpses, because when i was doing harvest monsters with a friend, if i did nothing but just stood there, he doesn't get black boxes.

If i use VD, detonate dead, or just vaal detonate dead, it makes black boxes appear on his screen.

Note that black boxes appeared sometimes before i got plaguebringer, but it was like 1 sec every 8 hours of play, so i wasn't really concerned about it at the time. (Mean that the bug can trigger for another things, but most likely on plaguebringer).

I don't know how plaguebringer works, so i can't really get a conclusion on that, but the backboxes are clearly centered on my character.

Has there been any progress on this issue?

Also get this occasionally, does not seem to be something I can replicate seems totally random, although I do see it more in the sacred grove than elsewhere.

I get the black squares around my character when I use any of the Insatiable Malice armor MTX after the latest nvidia driver update. Using the Weapon MTX doesn't give the black squares, only the helmet, armor, gloves and boots.

Rooling back to old nvidia driver worked for me and fixed the black squares for now :p

I just started having this issue after updating my Nvidea GeForce drivers to play Doom Eternal. Wasn't happening before! Very strange and pretty distracting.
