Crash on Vulkan with Intel Arc B580

Hi

Since patch 0.4, the game crashes instantly when I select the Vulkan renderer.
The client closes immediately without any error message, which forces me to play on DirectX 12.

However, DX12 performance is significantly worse in endgame.
For example, on maps with Abyss, my FPS can drop to around 10 FPS, making the game almost unplayable.

What’s confusing is that in version 0.3.1, Vulkan was working perfectly for me.
I was able to play endgame content with stable 60+ FPS on Vulkan without any crashes.

System configuration:

CPU: Intel i5‑14600K
RAM: 32 GB
GPU: Intel Arc B580

This feels like a regression introduced in 0.4, specifically affecting Vulkan on Intel Arc GPUs.
DirectX 12 works as a workaround, but performance is much worse compared to Vulkan in 0.3.1.

Thanks for looking into this.

Same here with the b580. cant play endgame because directx12 sucks for intel gpus in this game.

same for mee tbh

I keep having this issue too.

Is GGG aware of this problem?

I get it that things break and that fixing things isn't easy, but is there a way to know that they're aware of the issue?

(I suppose it goes without saying, otherwise I wouldn't be here, but I'm having this problem as well)

I sent an email to support@grindinggear.com explaining the problem, and they replied that the developers will look into the issue on the forum. I hope it will be fixed quickly.

Thanks!

I have the same problem but it happens also on DirectX12. Of course on Vulkain it's even impossible to login the game. On DirectX12 it could be 5-10 min of playing and then the client closes immediately without any error message...

CPU: Intel i7-14700k
Ram: 2x16Gb G-Skill 7600
GPU: Asus GeForce RTX 3080

P.S. Got the same porblem even in the last league of PoE1.
P.S.S. My potato PC on work (i3-10300, old video GeForce Fx5600), which 2-3 min loading between zones - never crashes!!!!

Wrote a lot of messages on PoE1 forum. But seems nobody cares...

Omg is this problem exist in 1 year? I'll wait until next poe 1 league and if they still don't solve this shit I will change my GPU with 5070 ti or 9070 xt

ive made a couple post on the forums with no responses so who knows
