ram: 8gb

amd driver version: 18.3.1

like cube.exe it just crashes the moment the window pops up, i checked the vulkan supported cards and mine is included there
when i try to run cube in visual studio with debug mode it throws this exception:

"Exception thrown at 0x56C04EFD (amdvlk32.dll) in cube.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000010."
