Hello @Aperture32GLaDOS, we're using one issue report per unofficially supported game title, and usually I'd transfer this issue report to #1661, but in your case, "vkCreateInstance (&inst_info, NULL, vk_instance) failed: ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY (-1)" at https://gist.github.com/Aperture32GLaDOS/f6968c8b24c3eb5c657d8085a86a6bb0/#file-steam-system-information-L1211 tells us that 32 bit AMDVLK is breaking that render path with the NVIDIA driver. Retest with the lib32-amdvlk system package removed.
Yep; the game works flawlessly now! Thanks so much for your quick response; I'm slightly embarrassed I didn't notice it myself!
Nothing extracted yet.
Compatibility Report
System Information
I confirm:

Symptoms
When starting up the game, steam shows that it is running and then it crashes. There is no graphical indication that the game is running other than steam reporting that the game is running (i.e. no window opens).
Reproduction
This happens on every attempt to launch the game.
