Unpredictable Vulkan crashes with vk::Device::waitForFences: ErrorDeviceLost

OK GUYS I've found the solution


**JUST DISABLE iGPU in BIOS**


the cause is igpu is messing with the game and cause some CPU spike and then the game crashed.


Work with AMD at least
If some of you using Intel, you can try.

really cant be right that u need to be a hardware technician to play the game :(
i am not clever enough to be roaming around in my BIOS just to have fun in POE!

So latest version of nVidia drivers gives me this error Error:vk:::waitFroFences:ErrorDevideLost .

I switched to a 2023 version of the drivers and I get this error VK:Queue:Submit: ErrorDeviceLost .

GGG please help us as I haven't played the last 3 leagues due to this error. Isn't there any engineer on your team to actually fix this gamebreaking bug?

Made a bug report about this:

560.70 using this driver (current version for my gpu) crashes the game at several times, it is completely unplayable. I can play the game just fine with the 512.15 driver but I would like to upgrade. Gonna try some versions in between

I've noticed i've had "Omen of Death-Dancing" in my inventory two times now that i've crashed out with this error in the last ~4 hours.

Both times i've gone under 25% hp, and the game instantly crashed without using the omen.

Why do you think you need to upgrade the driver? Have you read that specific driver's release notes?

Can confirm Omen's are triggering this, either 25% HP or level up. I stopped using them and no more crashes.

I thought I was the only one.

Freezes, crashes.

Uninstalled. Fresh install.


Updated drivers.

updated windows.

still same.

Switched for Dx11 to vulcan.

At least now I get a little mesage b4 it crashes.

For me crashes mostly in towns but has happened everywhere.

At least I'm not alone, seriously thought my pc was in her dying days.

Same problem here, started today.
Only thing different was that I started using my 2nd monitor again.
It was off now, but PC still gets input.

Disconnected 2nd monitor, problem gone.
