[2020] Vulkan freezing/crashing/ram usage issues

Hi everyone, sorry to see you are encountering these crash and freeze issues on your PCs since the last Shadow Legacy update.

Do you know what your CPU is running at when the game freezes?

Are you able to test this for us using the Task Manager performance tab?

So the Vulkan mode is using quite a bit of your Ram.

Have you tried lowering some of the settings in the game to compensate the high Vram usage? It may steady the performance of Vulkan mode for now.

If you haven't already done so I would update your GPU driver too.

If you are using an Nvidia GPU, I got a notification today to say there was a new update, so it may be worth checking yours too here -

To download the latest Nvidia drivers, follow this link -

Let me know after trying these steps it improves the performance for you and we will keep investigating this

Hey bahadrop-top,

Were you able to download any driver updates for your vega 8?

Do you have any other software that you know of or dont know of that might be cheekily using up some of your Ram and Vram in the background when you are playing the game?

You can check through task manager for programs that may be running.

There are a few things we can suggest to try and help you, but I would prefer to know what you tried to do to stop the Vulkan crashes so far so I don't ask you do repeat the same troubleshooting.

We haven't had too many reports on these crashes so far on PC, it was mainly console since the update.
