vk::physicalDevice::createDeviceUnique: ErrorFeatureNotPresent

Hi. I was trying to improve the experience in game and change to Vulkan render.
The game crashed and when i try to launch again shows that message:

vk::physicalDevice::createDeviceUnique: ErrorFeatureNotPresent

Just reinstall the game and still get the same error.

Any advice?

Same issue here, I cant even get into the login screen where I can change settings
Have you tried editing config file in the following path:

C:\Users\*name*\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile\production_Config.ini

and deleting the "renderer_type=Vulkan" line?
This should set the renderer back to DX11, I haven't figured out myself how to get Vulkan to work.

I have the exact same problem. Moreover, Vulkan was the only renderer working nicely for me. Now I am using DirectX11 but I get constant crashes and the game often looks like a slideshow.
A lot of people are still using Vulkan though, I wonder what's the difference between our set ups and theirs.
I am having the same issue and Vulkan was the only one that actually worked for me. Are there any other solutions you guys have found to fix this problem.

I tried removing Vulkan like was suggested and it did make it so PoE was able to be launched, but DX11 and DX12 makes it so there is huge strain on my GPU where Vulkan didnt do that. And it makes the game really choppy like a slide show when launched in DX11 or DX12.

If anyone found a solution please let me know.

EDIT:

I have resolved my problem ! It had to do with the fact that PoE was using the integrated intel graphics cards instead of my nvidea graphics card.
This video of changing the graphics card and making it so poe uses the correct one helped me and within 2 minutes the problem was fixed and i am able to play the game in vulkan again
