It is known that optical-lattice (OL) potentials can stabilize solitons and solitary vortices against the critical collapse, generated by the cubic attractive nonlinearity in the 2D geometry. We demonstrate OLs can also stabilize various species of fundamental and vortical solitons against the super-critical collapse, driven by the double-attractive cubic-quintic nonlinearity (however, solitons remain unstable in the case of the pure quintic nonlinearity). Two types of OLs are considered, producing similar results: the 2D Kronig-Penney "checkerboard", and the sinusoidal potential. Soliton families are obtained by means of a variational approximation, and as numerical solutions. The stability of the families, which include fundamental and multi-humped solitons, vortices of oblique and straight types, vortices built of quadrupoles, and supervortices, strictly obeys the Vakhitov-Kolokolov criterion. The model applies to optical media and BEC in "pancake" traps.
