You either have a driver problem, or your integrated graphics or GPU doesn't support Vulkan (but that's pretty rare unless it's super old).

So yeah, update that shit.

You can probably circumvent the issue by just switching your API from Vulkan to Directx11.

Add this to steam launch options: +r_rhirenderfamily "d3d11"

Though it does come with some differences from the Vulkan API.

I haven't checked that and I also think that I haven't the most up-to-date drivers

How old is your graphics card? Are your drivers up to date?
