So when it launches it just shows a blackscreen but audio plays and pressing the windows key takes you out of fullscreen and the game renders but then the game just soft locks. audio keeps playing but the screen is frozen and loading stops until you ctrl alt del

err: Presenter: Failed to create Vulkan swapchain: -13

This is an issue with AMD's Windows Vulkan driver that we don't know the cause of.

I expected as much. I guess this can be closed if its AMDs problem

I did a quick test on windows and replicated the issue with the game in exclusive fullscreen. When the game is windowed it works fine.

The game doesn't crash btw it just freezes on whatever the last image was shown which is black on boot. Audio is always running. Alt tabbing to break out of full screen helps as well

Alt tabing yea it helps. i tried going into the menus and alt tabbing to get an image and it eventually froze the system also when you do get a picture its at like 2fps
