I'm starting to question my sanity and if I ever was using Vulkan but I'm almost positive I saw it as my setting in this game, the new Call of Duty and maybe another. Of course, I'm 99.99% sure I was using Vulkan before so I thought this may add it back. I was able to fix my failure to launch the game due to not being able to run Vulkan by changing my system.xml back to DX12.I decided to use DDU and go back to the previous driver + hotfix I was using which had improved Vulkan performance. I looked into the issue and can find people with similar problems but not the exact same. I noticed that my API was set to DX12 and not Vulkan so I changed that and restarted my game but Social Club failed to initialize my graphics device. I was taking a performance hit in areas I hadn't before updating my drivers and checked my settings, grumbling as I turned things down yet again. For good measure, I verified the game's integrity. Tonight, I updated to the latest Nvidia driver and had major visual bugs, like the sky going black. I've had an uphill battle seeing crashes go away, my performance increasing and declining with Rockstar's updates and Nvidia's drivers.
