It seems the issue is due to missing Vulkan drivers. Could you update my graphics and Vulkan drivers, please?
Go to vulkan.lunarg.com and install the Windows SDK.
This adds tools like vulkaninfo. (Many systems already have the Vulkan runtime via GPU drivers.)
Open Start → Windows PowerShell (or Command Prompt).
Run:
vulkaninfo
If not found: run it via the SDK path (adjust version as installed):
"C:\VulkanSDK\1.3.x\Bin\vulkaninfo.exe"
Working: You see GPU name(s) and a line like Vulkan Instance Version: 1.3.x.
Not working: Errors (e.g., No Vulkan devices found) or tool missing.
Update GPU drivers (then reboot):
NVIDIA → GeForce Experience / NVIDIA driver installer
AMD → Adrenalin Software
Intel → Driver & Support Assistant
PATH not set? Either re-run the installer or call the full path to vulkaninfo (see step 2).
Laptop with iGPU + dGPU: In NVIDIA/AMD control panel, force apps to use the discrete GPU.
Still failing: Reinstall the Vulkan SDK (Windows), then try vulkaninfo again.
Apologies for slow response. Graphic driver update + Vulkan SDK install seemed to have little effect, but I did find a solution. Adding "DISABLE_LAYER_AMD_SWITCHABLE_GRAPHICS_1" with a value of "1" to the system environment variables and restarting allows the game to run (though the vulkaninfo command still doesn't work, likely a separate issue.).
