Vulkan not working?

Hello there,

After the latest nvidia driver update i am unnable to swap to vulkan from dx11 in poe. Checked integritys, reinstalled poe, deleted all config folders, checked nvidia settings, tried setting everything to default, tried making all poe settings to default - nothing helps. To understand i use vulkan for ages from the start it was introduced to poe on same pc, and now for some reason i cannot toggle it it's just greyed out. And on dx11 it's nearlly to impossible to actually play the game. Each time i hit a huge pack my pc just cant handdle it and i got dc'ed. At this point game became unplayable for me. Help.

Using nvidia Geforce 1060 3gb

This is my pc and I just changed from DX to Vulcan to test and it works without problems. I was running DX, closed the game (exit path of exile), then started it again and changed it on the login screen before logging in.
I wish i could do that, but i can't. It's just greyed out. https://imgur.com/a/xNdTI3B

that normaly means a driver problem.
You can try:
1) uninstall POE and remove all files.
2) uninstall the drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller in safe mode
3) install the most suitable drivers for your video card
4) install POE
good luck

Ok so i tried roll backing video drivers to -1 to latest version, then -2 to latest version - nothing seemed to help. Then i wiped ALL my driver settings with alot of restarting etc, deleted current poe with every setting out there and installed completely clean copy, then installed clean latest drivers, wiping every bit of old ones, finally it worked. <3
nice ^_^
