log file and screenshots in Attachment

Game's regressed, not playable anymore crashes with error:

F 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\vkutils\sync.cpp:200[:5], in function wait_for_event)
(in file D:\a\1\s\rpcs3\Emu\RSX\VK\vkutils\shared.cpp:107[:24], in function die_with_error)

Tried default config, disabling fsr, testing it without vsync, I usually just increase the internal resolution and enable vsync, for this was the same.

Game simply refuses to work after a while, it's just crash, after crash, after crash, crashes the whole emulator too...

Tried with write color buffers on & off, didn't make a difference, I don't think it's needed anymore.

Either way the game crashes too much for it to be considered playable, the game's performance is way too erratic as well, bounces back and foward between 25-30.

Manage to "snag" a couple of screenshots, though.

Restest now.

Nah, sadly still crashes...

Same message too... I think? 

F 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:49[:4], in function poke_query)

This one seems to be playable again.
