Launch problems. (Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus)
What is this error trying to tell me?

error says that your video card does not support the Vulkan API that the game is running on
Perhaps someone will help. It was like this for me - at startup it gave this error (game - license, RTX 3070M). I read on the Internet - I found many different ways. Digging in the registry, reinstalling drivers, installing Vulkan software and much more did not work. I found the right way when I disabled the integrated video card in the device manager (I have a laptop). The game started to run, about 5 FPS. I got into the nvidia control panel, there I set the default video card for the game - a powerful nvidia graphics processor. But that didn't help either. I already wanted to quit everything, and finally, for fun, I installed a low-powered video card there by default. And lo and behold, everything worked. For some reason, the game confused the video cards. When she was told to run on a powerful video card, she ran on a low-power one, and vice versa, respectively. Try. Hope it helps someone.
I want to update the comment I left above. The problem turned out to be slightly different. Bottom line: if you have a laptop and it has 2 video cards (like mine) and you know EXACTLY that your video card supports Vulkan (almost all recent video cards can), but you are facing a startup problem, you need to do the following. Open Device Manager, select video adapters and disable (EXACTLY DISABLE, NOT REMOVE) your POWERFUL video card (via mouse 2). Launch the game (it started at 5 fps for me), wait 5 seconds and close the game (you can use Alt + f4). Go back to Device Manager, and turn ON your POWERFUL video card. The game must work. It happens that it doesn’t help, in this case, repeat the above steps, previously in the nvidia control panel, just for the game.
