[SPZ2-5984] [1.0.3-rc3] Vulkan and DX12 not working

[crude torrent]

When I try to play the game using the Vulkan renderer it freezes in the loading screen and crashes right after.
I can play for about 5-10min in DX12, but then it freezes and I can only force-close it with the task manager.

There are random crashes/freezes for some users when using directx12
To Do • Priority: Low • Fix: None

Some players experience random crashes and freezes when running shapez 2 with DirectX 12. The issue occurs intermittently during normal gameplay after setting the graphics API to DirectX 12. Log analysis reveals repeated errors related to failed memory address access. Switching away from DirectX 12 reportedly prevents the crashes. The issue has been reported on a semi-regular basis by multiple players.

Game crashes when using a RX6600XT or RX6600 when using Vulkan
To Do • Priority: High • Fix: Probably Never • Game: 1.0.0-beta2

shapez 2 crashes when reaching the main menu while using the Vulkan graphics API on AMD GPUs, including the RX 6600, RX 6600 XT, RX 9060 XT, and RX 5700 XT. The crash is triggered by launching the game with Vulkan, particularly with graphics settings above low. This appears to be a regression introduced in Unity 2022.3.62f2, as builds using the older Unity 2022.3.42f1 do not exhibit the crash. Since Unity no longer releases new LTS updates for the 2022.3 series without an enterprise license, ...

Vulkan: Out of memory -> Causing Native Crashes for lots of players
Done • Priority: Highest • Fix: OLD Early Access • Game: 0.0.0-alpha13 • Resolution: Done

Vulkan graphics API is running out of VRAM (video memory) causing native crashes and even bluescreens for many players, particularly those with graphics cards that have limited memory. The crashes occur during game preloading when loading the GlobalScene, before players can even start playing. Investigation revealed that textures use excessive memory, with the game initially using 2.0 GB VRAM at startup in 1920×1080 resolution. Texture compression settings were optimized to reduce VRAM usage ...

Consistent crash on DX12 with submenu
Done • Priority: Medium • Fix: None • Resolution: Won't Fix

When launching shapez 2 in DirectX 12 with specific settings (Simplified Chinese language, 3840x2160 resolution, vsync off), loading a particular savegame and hovering the cursor back and forth between toolbar slots (such as between Conveyor Belt and rotators) causes a consistent crash to desktop. The issue does not occur when using DX11 or Vulkan rendering. This was closed as won't fix.

Game becomes non responsive and resolution changes if using DX12 in full screen mode and there is only one monitor that is turned off and back on again
Done • Priority: Medium • Fix: None • Resolution: Won't Fix

When using DirectX 12 in fullscreen mode on a single monitor setup, turning the monitor off and back on causes shapez 2 to become unresponsive to mouse input and display at an incorrect resolution in the top-left corner. The issue is specific to DirectX 12 and does not occur with DirectX 11 or Vulkan. The game should remain responsive and maintain proper resolution after the monitor is turned off and on. This also occurs with multiple monitors and persists even when running OBS Studio.

Minimize Game with Vulkan Crashes game
Done • Priority: High • Fix: None • Resolution: Won't Fix

When playing shapez 2 in windowed mode at 1680x1050 resolution using the Vulkan graphics backend, minimizing the game window causes an immediate crash. The player normally uses borderless mode but was testing the minimize functionality in windowed mode. The crash does not occur when using DirectX. This appears to be an engine-level issue with Vulkan's handling of window minimization in windowed display mode.

Vulkan crash

@hidden osprey could you please reopen this bug report since the command isnt working. I believe it is not a duplicate because my game crashes even on minimum settings in Vulkan and doesnt even reach the main menu on medium - ultra settings (on minimum it reaches the menu but crashes right after) and also my log file doesnt seem to show any errors wich is different from the "duplicate" bug report. And I have crashes on DX12 too wich the "duplicate" - post didnt say anything about. I am sorry if I disturbed you with this but I think my bug report is falsely marked as a duplicate.

[hidden osprey]

The only difference is that minimum specs. Everything else lines up with the linked report.
But...
Your log file is reporting two graphics cards in use.
Have you tried turning off your onboard graphics?
