Constant graphics freeze on Windows-D (min) with Vulkan and passive tree open (Havent tested DX12)

Game is still running, can still hear sounds, do actions, click things, send trade whispers (unfortunately bc I cant then follow up on those /ws w/o exiting and relaunching, at which point the seller has already found a new buyer in the case of deals on live search), go through portals, even exit the game by hitting esc and blindly grid searching up until I hit the exit button, but the graphics are frozen.

Seems to solely happen when I leave it on the passive tree (which I usually do both because you can still chat and trade /w, and because my machine seems to run cooler like it did in POE 1 when you did that). Havent caught it happening with the tree closed or with the game on the atlas screen.
Will report on whether it happens on DX 12.
Windows 10
Intel 9900K
Geforce 2080TI 2160P 50% NIS.

So after some extent of DX 12 testing, this appears to be a Vulkan bug.
