Since the 4.5 update, my game crashes before the menu with a fatal error: "Required Vulkan API Version not available." My game.log shows: Exception STATUS_CRYENGINE_FATAL_ERROR(0x2BADF00D) addr=0x00007FF8944B5369 digest=f1caa908fc1d90e38c07f67efb494a11 Run from internal: No Is fatal error: Yes - Fatal error message: Required Vulkan API Version not available. See game log for more info. Is reported bug: No Is GPU crash: No Is Timeout: No Is out of system memory: No Is out of video memory: No My graphics card supports DX11/DX12, and the game used to work by falling back to DX11. Now it seems to check for Vulkan 1.2 first and fails, even with -force-d3d11 in the command line. My question: Has Vulkan 1.2 become a mandatory check? Is there a way to disable it and force the DX11/DX12 renderer like before? Any help is appreciated.
