I've noticed recently that if I turn on Vulkan mode in a couple of games (Baldurs Gate 3 and Doom 16) the game will lock up/crash.

Everything I read suggests it supports it and I do remember playing through Wolfenstein II which uses Vulkan so I think it works.

The card is a RX580 4GB

Yes it does. I suggest uninstalling the current driver with DDU and installing the latest WHQL driver.

I'ma try this when I get home. Thanks ๐Ÿ‘

For future reference, this is what fixed it.

DDU = Device Driver Uninstaller and its from Guru3D's website.

Run it in safe mode then install the full driver package from AMD.

Yes it does. If you are having problems it's probably a driver issue, or maybe the game itself.
