Crashes on Windows 11 24H2 Intel Core i 13900k (BIOS updated, Vulkan)

Description​

I used the tips from your post on how to play without crashes on my computer. I updated the bios, set -vulkan in the launch settings. When I launch the game, the screen goes black for 2 seconds, then crashes back to the desktop. If I switch to directx 11, then it seems to work without crashes.

Steps to reproduce​

1. Have a computer with Windows 11 24n2 and an Intel Core processor, having previously updated the BIOS to the latest version.
2. Write -vulkan in the launch settings
3. Launch the game.

Game Version​

I copied all the files from the logs folder for today and am attaching it to you.

Hi,

I will transfer this to the tech support as you already updates the BIOS.
For the time being could you use DirectX 11 (-dx11) for now - this should avoid the crash.

Yes, if you are not crashing with DX11 I'm not sure why you were using Vulkan? The only reason to do so is to avoid the Win11 24H2 PC freeze issue.

I usually use directx11, but I followed the instructions so that my system wouldn't crash, and the game just wouldn't start with Vulkan. And with directx11, after a five-minute run of the gaming session, the game worked fine.
