Drakengard 3 [NPUB31251] - frequent crashes "(VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST)"

[Rhaston]

Quick summary

Game randomly crashes at different moments during gameplay and in the menus with "(VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST)" error.

Details

Error I'm getting at random:

·F 0:10:47.574967 {RSX [0x00529d4]} SIG: Thread terminated due to fatal error: Assertion Failed! Vulkan API call failed with unrecoverable error: Device lost (Driver crashed with unspecified error or stopped responding and recovered) (VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST)
(in file D:\a\1\s\rpcs3\Emu\RSX\VK\VKQueryPool.cpp:45[:4], in function bool __cdecl vk::query_pool_manager::poke_query(struct vk::query_pool_manager::query_slot_info &,unsigned int,unsigned int))
(in file D:\a\1\s\rpcs3\Emu\RSX\VK\vkutils\shared.cpp:110[:24], in function void __cdecl vk::die_with_error(enum VkResult,class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >,struct std::source_location))

I am running default configuration, 720p, no patches applied, I'm getting good performance on my system except for those random crashes.

I tried changing RSX FIFO Accuracy to Atomic and Drivel Wake-up Delay to 200 and 400 with no improvement.

This is not predictable, occurs in different moments, sometimes everything works fine for couple hours, other times crashes within first 15 minutes but there are some areas where the crash happens more often - I noticed this more often when switching companions in the menus between mission and in Chapter 5: Verse 4 on the third room with wizards. The game runs really badly with OpenGL for me unfortunately so I wasn't able to test it properly, the error seems Vulcan-specific though.

I also tried different releases of RPCS3 but the error persists.
