11.1.0 Curvature with hard contrast

Hi, since the recent 11.1 update any bake gets me a very high contrast curvature map, resulting on hard edges smart masks even on global contrast 0.  (Rolled back to 11.0.3 and bakes fine)

No worries, just trying to understand what i was looking at, I assumed it was an A-B comparison of the issue. Will do a test on our side to see if we can reproduce, if not we might have to ask you for a file that works for both 11.0.3 and 11.1, so we can dig deeper. Would that be OK?

    Hi, can you clarify a bit why the geometry looks different on the left? The left ones seem to include belts and straps in the bake. I think maybe more is going on here and you have something different between your geometry, or match by name?

      Hi! Thanks, but thats not related, just showing Two different projects.
      Tried everything and changing baking options does not fix this and also it
      should not be the solution, not a junior here.

      I tried this on 6 different projects. Problem persisist and even ruins
      curvature on provious projects where bake was ok.

      Also updated drivers and tried studio ready and Game ready drivers.
      Being using substance painter professionally since 2011, im sure this is
      not a bake config problem.

      I have readed this version uses Vulkan...
      Might this be a clue?

      Thanks
