Vulkan Proton crash on Linux

After the July 26th update the game crashes when trying to open with Steam Proton on Linux (previous patch worked fine):

vk::createInstanceUnique: ErrorExtensionNotPresent

Please share with graphics team, Client.txt log: https://pastebin.com/4hRBbSGz

+1 cannot play the game at all. How would I switch to directx without opening the game? Reinstall?
Fails at same point in client.txt for me, albeit Radeon RX 7900 XTX. It will start if you edit your production_Config.ini and change renderer_type=Vulkan to renderer_type=DirectX12 (performance will be far worse though).

(edit: that ini is in your home directory in a location like:)
.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/compatdata/238960/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/My Games/Path of Exile/production_Config.ini

find $HOME/.steam -iname production_config.ini

Thanks for this workaround, the game launches now
Seeing the same here, also AMD (6800XT).
DirectX12 died for me in lioneye's watch so going to try DirectX11 (*puke*).

edit: trying dx11 (which does work but man it is stuttery)

It’s not a Poe problem, your distros are outdated. Works fine here on CachyOS (arch based)

No it's not, I'm on Arch and I did -Syu trying to fix this. That didn't work. It was "fixed" for now by changing the renderer to DX12.

Same problem.
Before 3.25 (2 days ago) I've play without any issues.
Yesterday, after 3.25 launch game crashes on start.

ERROR code I've got - vk::createInstanceUnique: ErrorExtensionNotPresent

I play on Linux Mint Debian Edition 6 Faye.
Graphic card AMD Radeon 6700XT
Newest drivers.
If you have vulkan-tools installed you can check the output of:

> vulkaninfo --summary

This will give you a list of supported vulkan instance extensions.
