Hey Guys!
I just played Last Epoch yesterday and at first it ran smoothly until I hit level 5 and replaced some gloves with my actual ones in my inventory, I experienced two crashes. Then it got worse and it crashed randomly every 3 minutes. Now I cant even play because both of my created Chars are in a Town and everytime I hit a Town it crashes. Maybe its because of my old GPU? Its the AMD Radeon HD 6850. When i try all low settings or non-window mode, nothing changes and I also did the vulcan 1.8 file replacement (the ddls). When I put the dlls. it doesnt even start because it says:
“Failed to initialize graphics.
Make sure you have DirectX 11 installed, have up to date
drivers for your graphics card and have not disabled
3D acceleration in display settings.
InitializeEngineGraphics failed”
edit: when i start a new character, it first works and then when i hit the first town/area after the starting area, the game crashes. Here is the specific logfile. Player.log (18.4 KB)
yep i tried this and didnt work. I even reinstalled the game.
Windoes log says:

Unfortunately your graphics card is old now and unless I miss my guess it cannot actually do DirectX 11 graphics… I compared it with my GPU and its about 350% slower and I play at between 40-60fps most of the time so simply math says you will have a pretty unpleasant time trying to play LE with it even if you could get it stable. You would definitely need to set EVERYTHING to the lowest resolution, very low in-game settings and anything optional to disabled with frame rate limiting on maybe 30fps or even less. You may have some success for a little longer but I doubt it…
I am not even sure there is a way to force LE to play on DX10…
Also… according to the dxdiag, your graphics card driver is from 2016 - you should DEFINITELY upgrade it asap - it may help… it may not, but its ALWAYS recommended to keep your graphics drivers up to date.
As for how you are getting as far as you can before the crash - honestly I have no idea - its likely that you have gotten this far because the game hasnt attempted to use anything fancy yet or its simply reached the limit of the card after a few levels maps and it taps out. I am not a dev so I can only speculate…
Honestly… If graphics cards were not such a hot commodity right now I would suggest an upgrade if you could afford it… But make sure that whatever you get it does not get bottlenecked by the rest of your system - otherwise you would just be wasting money only upgrading the card.
